See You in the Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
Okay, so I have lots of mixed feelings about this.
Story wise, it's probably 4 stars. I listened to it and an audiobook is definitely the way to take in this story. The way it's written is perfect for an audiobook especially since there are sound effects and a full cast. There are a lot of topics in the story that were completely unexpected and it kept things interesting. And I thought that I would be annoyed by the constant stream of consciousness from an 11-year-old, it actually worked really well for this story.
However, the story does require some suspension of reality. The sequence of events, at times, is a little unbelievable. It's not that the things that happen within the story are "impossible," just... it's SO MUCH that happens in one story.
Also, this is definitely not a story that just any MG kid could pick up. I almost think this is more YA and that younger kids who do read it will need a trusted adult to talk to about the topics and be able to ask questions.
