I loved this book. It was so sweet and Alex is such a smart insightful kid. Already planning to gift this to my son for Christmas. I think he'll love it.

4.5 stars, rounded up. I listened to the audiobook with my 13 year old in honor of our studying astronomy together this summer. We really enjoyed the story and it’s unique delivery through iPod recordings. The audiobook was done exceptionally well and we highly recommend reading this one with your ears.

This one was deeper than I expected it to be going in to it.

This was a sweet book about a sweet boy and all the unexpected people who love him. Would definitely recommend for a quick read, especially if you love space.

Aww, Alex is so adorable. I feel so bad for him he had to go through all of that. But at least he's remained positive amidst all those unfortunate things that happened. Alex's heart is so pure I want to give him lots of hugs.
