We’re so excited to share the brand-new cover of Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt to celebrate 10 years since it first published 💫

Cover illustrated by Darya Shnykina ()

This is a heartbreaking story, narrated by twelve-year-old Jack, whose family is caring for fourteen-year-old Joseph. Joseph is misunderstood. He was incarcerated for trying to kill a teacher. Or so the rumours say. But Jack and his family see something others in town don’t want to.

What's more, Joseph has a daughter he’s never seen. The two boys go on a journey through the bitter Maine winter to help Joseph find his baby - no matter the cost. ❄️💔

Orbiting Jupiter is a story about love, second chances, and seeing the good in people when no one else will.

Coming January 2026!
