See You in the Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
This is an absolute delight! I keep wondering how some authors manage to write in a child's voice succesfully. The choice of words, the wonder and curiosity and unconscious maturity.
Indeed, when the aliens listened to his recordings they would think how incredible the Earthlings are. Though for older people, the story or side-stories, are sad and heartbreaking. You'd get a hint at those background conversations or those observations innocently told by Alex. And we are all wishing that we could see life through a child's eyes; the fun, adventurous, hopeful life ahead.
Also, I really liked that Cheng made Alex a half-Filipino and mentioned Lolo and Lola without italics. Somehow representation makes reading even better.
