BackstoryBooks | Apr 2, 2024 |    ) mslibrarynerd | Jan 13, 2024 | "If the sand never moves, it never changes. And each of us should strive to change every single day. To be better explorers. To be better teachers and students. To be better humans. To just be better." This book was exceptional. It completely took me by surprise. We Dream of Space takes place during the 1980s around the time of the Challenger space shuttle accident. I was not alive during the time of the explosion but I have heard of it and it was fascinating reading from the perspective of children who experienced the shock of such a tragic event. Siblings Cash, Bird, and Fitch have a stressful home life with their parents constantly arguing and they each find solace in their own ways. Cash enjoys watching sports and wants to be an athlete, but feels he's not good enough to actually make that happen. Bird is fascinated with machines and dreams of going to space one day. Fitch finds himself at the arcade every day after school, working to beat his previous high scores. Each sibling has their own struggles that they are dealing with and in the end, they all come together so beautifully. The growth of each of these characters was so profound. I could not recommend this book more. (  ) Lacy_007 | Apr 15, 2023 |  ) kamlibrarian | Dec 23, 2022 | ) Monica2001 | Nov 18, 2022 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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 projectâ??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.

seventh grade (again) with twin siblings Bird and Fitch. Cash is lost, Fitch is angry, and Bird nurtures aspirations far
beyond societal and familial expectations. Meanwhile, their parents fight—a lot. Kelly expertly articulates tween
experiences while discussing prevalent issues like gender inequality. In an engrossing 1980s setting, the Thomas
siblings navigate difficult situations that are likely to feel familiar to many.
