Listened to this on audiobook which was a really great production. A science-fiction book about a middle school science teacher destined to save Earth from extinction. Flashback narratives never felt out of context, and there is more emotional attachment to the characters than I expected. Good humor and sarcasm throughout, and not overly scientific. I was positively surprised at how easy the science and physics were to follow.
