Dispatches from Planet 3: Thirty-Two (Brief) Tales on the Solar System, the Milky Way, and Beyond, Marcia Bartusiak
“To the stars, Bowen. To the stars.” Ok, that isn’t a quote from Dispatches from Planet 3, it’s actually a quote from a film called Dragonheart (which is amazing and you should watch it), but I thought it suited the… Read More ›

Jane Doe and the Cradle of All Worlds, Jeremy Lachlan
Alright nerds, I’m going to be honest and say I had High Hopes for this book. I had Expectations. The last middle grade book I read was Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow and it might be a little unfair… Read More ›
Records of a Spaceborn Few, Becky Chambers
