We Dream of Space by Erin Entrada Kelly
5.0

This book wrecked me completely and I loved it. We Dream of Space takes place in the month of January 1986, leading up to the Challenger explosion. The three Thomas children have distinct voices, and experience tremendous growth throughout the story. Kelly tackles so much in this book: family drama, anger, and feeling invisible, out of place, or left behind.

Every generation has a defining moment or tragedy. Mine was 9/11, and while reading this, I kept thinking back to what I experienced that day when I was in middle school. I think people of all ages would enjoy and appreciate We Dream of Space.
