“A 10 out of 10 . . . Anyone interested in science, sibling relationships, and friendships will enjoy reading?We Dream of Space.”—Time for Kids

Newbery Medalist and New York Times–bestselling author Erin Entrada Kelly transports readers to 1986 and introduces them to the unforgettable Cash, Fitch, and Bird Nelson Thomas in this pitch-perfect middle grade novel about family, friendship, science, and exploration. This acclaimed Newbery Honor Book is a great choice for readers of Kate DiCamillo, Rita Williams-Garcia, and Rebecca Stead.

Cash, Fitch, and Bird Nelson Thomas are three siblings in seventh grade together in Park, Delaware. In 1986, as the country waits expectantly for the launch of the space shuttle Challenger, they each struggle with their own personal anxieties. Cash, who loves basketball but has a newly broken wrist, is in danger of failing seventh grade for the second time. Fitch spends every afternoon playing Major Havoc at the arcade on Main and wrestles with an explosive temper that he doesn’t understand. And Bird, his twelve-year-old twin, dreams of being NASA’s first female shuttle commander, but feels like she’s disappearing.?

The Nelson Thomas children exist in their own orbits, circling a tense and unpredictable household, with little in common except an enthusiastic science teacher named Ms. Salonga. As the launch of the Challenger approaches, Ms. Salonga gives her students a project—they are separated into spacecraft crews and must create and complete a mission. When the fated day finally arrives, it changes all of their lives and brings them together in unexpected ways.

Told in three alternating points of view, We Dream of Space is an unforgettable and thematically rich novel for middle grade readers.

We Dream of Space is illustrated throughout by the author. (展開)

這本書沒有紙質(zhì)書，所以只好用聽的。但是，和上一本裸聽的書感受完全不同。開篇十分鐘都聽不懂到底是一個什么樣的故事?？磿€以為是講和太空有關的故事，但實際上只有一條挑戰(zhàn)者號發(fā)射的暗線，明線是三個孩子成長的故事。故事里很多我不熟悉的打游戲啊，Star War的人物啊，都是我的盲區(qū)，所以聽不懂。人物故事又比較瑣碎，除了發(fā)射失敗，沒有明顯的高潮，可讀性比較差。最后我大概斷續(xù)聽了兩遍，略微翻了一下pdf。AR只對了七題。以后要多重視自己聽的能力。

It is January 1986. The launch of the Challenger is just weeks away. It seems like a small event, since space shuttle launches would not even affect people’s lives, especially the lives of three ordinary siblings in Park, Delaware, but it does.

The launch of the Challenger is just weeks away. It seems like a small event, since space shuttle launches would not even affect people’s lives, especially the lives of three ordinary siblings in Park, Delaware, but it does. The book I am talking about is We Dream of Space and it revolves around the lives of three siblings, Cash, Fitch, and Bird Thomas. They are in seventh grade together in as they face middle school problems when they learn about space. The Thomas siblings, thirteen-year-old Cash and the twelve-year-old twins Fitch and Bird, all struggle to navigate the doubts of middle school and their family that is falling apart. Cash sees himself as a failure because he is in danger of failing seventh grade again, Fitch is good at video games but has a violent temper, and Bird loves tampering with machines, but feels ignored and unseen. The Thomas siblings house is toxic with their parents relentlessly fighting, and Bird feels like she is the only person making the slightest effort to stitch her family back together. It is January 1986, and their teacher was gearing them up for the launch of the space shuttle Challenger. What will happen to the Space Shuttle? What will happen to the lives of the Thomas siblings when they realize what happened to Challenger? Read to find out. The conflict of this story is man versus self. Cash believed that he was a failure. However, he secretly cares about sports and school, and he is in an argument against himself on whether or not to continue believing he is a failure, or start to “try a new game”, switch gears, and actually find both what he likes to do and what he is good at. Fitch was also caught up in a conflict against himself. He wrestles constantly with his temper and finds it hard to maintain relationships with everyone in his life. He spews poison at people, then later regrets it. That is when the conflict comes in. The reader is able to see how he struggles on whether or not to apologize and swallow his pride or to let the destroyed relationship lay there. Bird struggles on being seen and her faraway dreams of being a shuttle commander. She grapples with the casual remarks her classmates tell her, like “You’re not pretty”, or anything that starts with “You’re not…” Because the change in the story is revolved around their own change of mindset and the fact that the change was centered on the three characters, the conflict is man versus self. The novel has three themes. Family, dreams, and believing in oneself. The Thomas siblings was never seen walking back from school together even though they were from the same school and same grade, never eats together, and rarely have heartfelt conversations with each other. Their broken family is having a hard time mending back together, not when the family does not even eat any meals together. Throughout the book though, the siblings start to bond over the only thing in common, which is their shared Science class in which they were learning about the Challenger space shuttle. Similarly, Dreams is an important theme in the novel because the novel portrays how the dreams of the three siblings were crushed and obliterated, then rebuilt again after the launch of Challenger. The whole novel is centered around the concept of how dreams can build our outlook on society and our view of ourselves. In order to try to achieve your dreams, you have to start to believe yourself. Which leads us to the theme of believing in oneself. When Bird believes that she can be the first female shuttle commander, that is when the possibility becomes real and her dream might be realized. My favorite quote from the novel is “The universe is waiting. Even though I’m just a tiny grain of sand, it’s waiting for me.” This tells the reader that even though Bird believed that compared to space, she is very miniscule, like a grain of sand, she can still make her dream of being a shuttle commander into reality. This moment, when she finally believed in (展開)
