We Dream of Space by Erin Entrada Kelly

4.0

---

100% purchased because I was told Kelly writes like Rebecca Stead, which, huge if true. does she? no, she writes like Erin Entrada Kelly, which means that unlike Stead it’s very difficult to forget you’re reading a book meant to impart moral lessons to children but it would be a total out of pocket lie to say I didn’t tear up at the ending. This book is so sweet like unconscionably mindblowingly sweet and I think it’s really good at putting into words all the feelings I had and couldn’t name when I was twelve. Obviously I’m not twelve anymore so I didn’t get the max out of it but maybe some kids absolutely could?
