See You in the Cosmos

3.5 stars
I lovely story about an 11-year-old boy called Alex from Colorado who is obsessed with everything to do with space and rockets. The story is told with him is the narrator through a series of recordings that he makes into his iPod which he plans on sending up to space for extraterrestrials to learn about earth one day. His dog is his best friend, he has an older brother, who no longer lives in Colorado, his father has died, and his mother isn’t very present. It’s a story about how a little boy discovers the world around him, the complex dynamics of his broken family, and how he navigates the big world around him.
It’s incredibly sweet, and it is absolutely written in the tone and the language and the style of an 11-year-old boy. It’s moving and funny in equal measure, and beautifully tells you the darker sides of this family’s story, through the innocent and naive eyes of an 11-year-old. However, do not be fooled, Alex is a very smart boy.
