Such a beautiful ending to this story.

I really give it a 3.75-ish, but I always love a good round up!

Loved: world-building, Joy’s character development, social commentary

Loved a bit less: Felix’s character development(it wasn’t bad, but there were moments when I felt like his actions didn’t make sense for his character); the large amount of time on earth (again.. it wasn’t bad, I just wanted more exploration of the world)

I tried to like it… I just didn’t.

I love the blurring of poetry and biography in the book. I’d love to see this co-taught across social studies and English (and probably even science) in a middle school!

It’s a good story, and I liked it well enough, but the story was slow at times. I’m more of a 3.5, but not a 4, so I’m giving it a 3.
