kba76 's review for:
See You in the Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
A book for younger readers that might well entertain, but will leave adult readers choked.
Eleven year old Alex is obsessed with space. He is determined to build a rocket and get it to fly, and the love of his life is Carl Sagan (his dog). When we first meet Alex he is making plans to travel across states to visit a Space show.
From the start I loved Alex's quirkiness, and his original take on life. However, it was clear that something was very wrong with Alex's life-no eleven year old would be left to travel alone, and his older brother seems more than a little remote.
We watch Alex meet up with all sorts of unusual characters, who have hearts of gold and look out for him. It's all very heartwarming, and rather improbable, but as an escapist read it is fascinating.
As is, perhaps, to be expected, Alex has to learn some awful truths about his family. He is typically positive about it all, and his optimism seems misplaced though admirable. Who knows where it will end up, but you get the feeling Alex will be okay.
Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read this.
