School Library Journal Best Book. Today Show Pick. An ALA Notable Book "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.

We Dream of Space

I’m not sure how I felt about this book. I was the same age as the twins when the disaster happened but I didn’t see it live. There wasn’t nearly as much build up for us as there was for Bird and her siblings so it was just another event that happened around us. That being said, I would not want to go back to that time in my life; the everyday angst they deal with gave me anxiety and I’m so far removed from it now. I can see how this story would appeal to a younger audience but for me, it was not for me. The Challenger launch is mentioned but it’s also something that happens in the background. I would have liked more focus on the event.
