What to expect

Twelve-year-old Libby Monroe is great at science, being optimistic, and talking to her famous, accomplished friends (okay, maybe that last one is only in her head).

She’s not great at playing piano, sitting still, or figuring out how to say the right thing at the right time. Libby was born with Turner syndrome, and that makes some things hard. But she has lots of people who love her, and that makes her pretty lucky.

When her big sister, Nonny, tells her she’s pregnant, Libby is thrilled. She strikes a deal with the universe: She will enter a contest with a project about Cecilia Payne, the first person to discover what stars are made of. If she wins the grand prize and
gives all that money to Nonny’s family, then the baby will be perfect and healthy.

Does Libby have what it takes to care for the sister who has always cared for her?
And what will it take for the universe to notice?

From debut author Sarah Allen comes this heartwarming novel about loving people with everything you’re made of.
