A slow paced slice of life story about a dysfunctional family during the time of the failed Challenger launch. I listened to this on audiobook with my family and my partner and kids DNF because they quickly lost interest. I was invested enough in the main character Bird (a ND middle school girl obsessed with the pending space launch) to finish. There were no surprises but there was some nice character development and the sibling dynamics was reminiscent of my own childhood. While this isn’t a book I would recommend off hand, I did enjoy it.
