We Dream of Space by Erin Entrada Kelly
5.0

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. Siblings Bird, Fitch, and Cash are all in the same grade because Cash is repeating seventh grade. Their family seems like it is just a group of individuals, each in their own orbit, occasionally interacting with each other. The siblings’ common denominator is their science teacher, who they all have during different periods but are all studying space to gear up for the Challenger launch. When disaster strikes, the siblings feel their orbits pulling together. The characters are each well developed, and though some readers may not like the open ending, it made me want to give each of the siblings a hug. Highly recommended for insightful readers in grades 5+.
