See You in the Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
I don't often give middle grade fiction novels 5 stars...but when I start a book and can't put it down, thus staying up most of the night to finish, it earns some kudos.
Eleven year old Alex is on his way to a convention for rocket enthusiasts. He's got the carpool, the cash, the rocket, the dog, and the tent. He does not have an adult to go with him. Through fate, he get's around that detail to make the convention. He knows his rocket will shoot into space, and with it, take his Golden iPod with record of thoughts and sounds Alex has been collecting. Just like his idol, Carl Sagon, sent the golden record.
The rocket does not go into space. After a bit of depression, Alex comes up with a new plan. What entails is a buddy road trip, Alex and other adults, though Alex may be the most mature of them all.
Recommend highly for grades 5 and up.
