It Came from the Sky by Chelsea Sedoti

4.0

A geeky teenager, Gideon, and his not quite so smart brother, Ishmael, mess up a science experiment. To cover, they tell a story, and then a bigger story, and then a bigger one. The small town quickly becomes unwitting co-conspirators in a hoax that gets drastically out of hand. I felt like Gideon’s footnote comments were appropriate for his character, though some of them were unnecessary and just seemed to be there to continue the concept. Overall, this was a great story of kids in high school being kids and the unintended consequences. I’d compare this book to Kevin Wilson’s Now is Not the Time to Panic and/or Hank Green’s An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. Well, and maybe a little Pink & the Brain! Not bad company and a really enjoyable read despite its length.

Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for a copy of the book. This review is my own opinion.
