See You in the Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
This was so gosh dang cute. I absolutely adored every second of this book. The format of it is really interesting, too, and what I think made me like it so much. The story follows 11-year-old Alex, who is IN LOVE with space. His dream, at the beginning of the book, is to send his Golden iPod, which he’s been recording Earth sounds on, into space on a rocket so that other lifeforms will someday intercept it and hear what Earth is all about. What ensues after that is the journey of a lifetime. It’s full of all sorts of drama and angst that I did not expect from this sweet-sounding story, and it nearly tore my heart out.
The format of the story are Alex’s recordings, and I want you to just imagine how an 11-year-old talks–super fast and all at once. Alex is over the moon excited about space and his hero, Carl Sagan, and talks about both of these pretty constantly. This was a super fast read, and very, very enjoyable overall.
