See You in the Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
I LOVED this book. Even when I was only halfway through, I was recommending it to people. So good. It was fun, it was adventurous, it was even suspenseful at times! I listened to this as an audiobook and the cast was SO good, too. Much like the physical book, the audiobook is set up as recordings on the Golden iPod. I thought that was very interesting. There are times when it's live and in the moment, and times when Alex is relaying something that had just happened or memories from when he was younger that tie into the story.
There are a lot of things that happen in this book, but they fit together so well. From Alex going to New Mexico for the rocket launch to meeting Terra to going to LA to find his brother to going back home and finding his mom is missing. Did I mention there's quite a bit of suspense and adventure?
Also, this could be alternately titled The Dog Comes Home Near The End. PHEW. I know, a bit of a spoiler, BUT he gets lost at one point and just in case someone thinks they're going to read a book in which the dog is missing forever or otherwise gone... NOPE. *cheers*
This book is just so special. There are some conversations that seem very big for an 11 year old, but Alex is such an amazing kid.
Themes: SCIENCE!, a parent with a mental disorder, a parent that passed away, second families, the best doggo in the world, bravery
Also, the book doesn't dive too deep into it, but Alex mentions that his mom is of Philippine descent and Ronnie mentions when Lolo and Lola came to visit.
