libby_joy 's review for:

See You in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng
2.0

Listened on audiobook, Super cute narration. However:::: Many things bugged me about this book:

-the normalization of “sleeping over with Girlfriend”
-the normalization of a child getting in a car with two men he has never met
-the normalization of a child going into a tent with two men he just met
-the normalization of talking to strangers and going places with them alone
-the normalization of a young child leaving home alone on an adventure with no adult approval or supervision
-the normalization of underage drinking
-the normalization of dishonesty to attain ones goals
-the normalization of boys surfing the web unsupervised and being a part of adult chat rooms

Just so many aspects of this book that left me hoping that not many children read it. The ideas it presents as normal and “ok” are so dangerous. Not impressed.
