See You in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng

5.0

This is a book for those who loved Wonder and Out of My Mind. It's a complicated story about a boy who's mother is dealing with some sort of mental illness after the death of her husband. Alex, the main character is a different kid, who says too much but is way more mature then he should have to be for his age. Him and his dog, Carl Sagan, named after the original, set out to attend the SHARF festival where Alex can send his rocket and a golden I-pod into space. Alex is 11 years old, and goes on his own to the festival, he sets up a ride, packs his own things, and takes the train. The book continues from there to surprise and infuriate you.

There was a lot going into this book and you could tell as a reader that the adults around Alex had a lot of thoughts about his traveling mostly alone. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others. It would have to be for a kid who could follow a lot of twists and turns and be able to read between the lines.
