86. A Million Tiny Missiles All at Once by @lucasjmaxwell.bsky.social I loved this book - the narrator's inner life is so well-realised and, like the very best writing for young people, the story is full of real pain but also such warmth and kindness (and GREAT jokes!) @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social
