dlberglund 's review for:
We Dream of Space
by Erin Entrada Kelly
3 siblings of a complicated and volatile family are all just trying to get by in middle school.They each run in their own orbits, with sister Bird sometimes trying to keep them together, and pursue her own academic dreams. Their lives and struggles are set against the backdrop of late 1985, and a science teacher who is eagerly awaiting the Challenger launch of 1986 that will send a teacher into space. My memories of that time are still very ingrained in me, and this book hit a lot of nerves. It's not a nostalgic 80s reverie; it's story of young people who are in transition and are struggling to connect.
