We Dream of Space by Erin Entrada Kelly
5.0

Oh my god this was so good. The story is centered around the Thomas family, specifically Cash and his younger twin siblings, Fitch and Bird, in January of 1986. Fitch is angry all the time and doesn’t know why, Cash is close to failing 7th grade, again, and Bird wants to fly away from everything as commander of the Space Shuttle Challenger. But everything changes when Challenger explodes 73 seconds into its flight. I ran though all the emotions when I learned what happened as I read @erinentrada ‘s words. I was 15, standing in line, ready to leave Earth Science in my freshman year of HS.
Beautifully written, this is another must read from Erin Entrada Kelly. “We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God. ‘“ President Ronald Reagan.
