What Goes Up
by Wen Jane Baragrey
Robyn Goodfellow is raised by her grandmother and her single mother, who is usually dressed up in fairy wings whether or not she is hosting a themed party for young children out of their home. Their home has the misfortune to attract any and all detritus on the roof, so when Robyn hears that a satellite is going to plummet to earth, she's convinced it will crash into their home.
If that wouldn't be consuming enough, Robyn begins a search for her birth father. Being an albino, she suspects the expansive albino family in the neighboring town holds a clue. Without her mother's knowledge or blessing, she investigates with her friend Nickel's help; she learns teachers and neighbors know more about her father than they let on, and Robyn is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Author Jane Baragrey reveals in a closing note that she was inspired by her memories of the coverage surrounding Skylab and speculation on where it would land.
What Goes Up is a pleasant read, bound to entertain children wanting some adventure. 3.5 stars.
