See You in the Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. The way the story is told and the audiobook is amazing. I am shook and it is amazing. I have no words literally. I can't not process what just happened. I need a day to think this through. When I was reading it a high four stars was the rating. Which is already pretty high for me. From the start to the end the writing is so good. Like the things he says sound like an eleven year old and innocence of his voice but wisdom which makes it captivating. I'm not really a fan of road trips but it was so interesting. I though how it was unrealistic that this kid so young going with theses random strangers but it makes sense. I like how the author does not tell you everything in one go and does it slowly. The main premise of his dad is not shown immediately but is drawn out. It is because they try to hide the truth from him because after all he is a kid. Also Alex is so cute and funny. How he says things that only an eleven year old would say and the honesty. The other characters are great and some you don't know that much about but you feel like you know them. The pacing of it felt natural even with the introduction of new characters like Terra. And the audiobook I cannot even. I think it's one the best audiobooks from the voices and background noise it's just perfect. When he is recording you can hear the record button the sound of a train if he is in a train. Like there was a lot thought and it is really showcase. At first I was kind of over the road trip thing and I was like why are there so many unanswered questions. Why are we swimming in a river with weird romantic tension between Terra and Steve. However, what made me change my mind was recording 46 OH MY GOSH! I was getting a little teary because of how it was just... I like how Ronnie was the one to tell Alex about there dad and the pain he went through and facing that Alex has to know the truth. It is one of the best piece of writing in the book. Which made me realize this book is a five stars. Though the book has some flaws the story is written so well and everything about it is just very unique. This is one of those books that is powerful and highlights the beauty of middle grade novels.
