lanabug711 's review for:
We Dream of Space
by Erin Entrada Kelly
I feel like this book is false advertising. The reader is promised a story about how the Challenger explosion affected middle school students, but instead we're given a story of a dysfunctional, unhappy family. I wanted to slap the mother with her constant remarks about her daughter's body and how she couldn't eat junk food because she had to watch her figure, but the brothers could eat them because "they were growing boys."
For a 400 page book, there was very little development of either the characters or the plot. The story should have resolved with the parents beginning to realize how their marital strife affected their children, and how their children were struggling with various things. Instead, the parents are even more oblivious about their children's thoughts, feelings, fears, and dreams.
