Publisher's Summary
Newbery Medalist and New York Times best-selling author Erin Entrada Kelly transports listeners to 1986 and introduces them to the unforgettable Cash, Fitch, and Bird Thomas in this pitch-perfect middle grade novel about family, friendship, science, and exploration. A great choice for fans of Kate DiCamillo, Rita Williams-Garcia, and Rebecca Stead.

Cash, Fitch, and Bird 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 12-year-old twin, dreams of being NASA’s first female shuttle commander, but feels like she’s disappearing.
The 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 listeners.
Excellently spun tale about three siblings’s lives in the month leading up to the Challenger launch in 1986. Friendships, talent, tempers, parents, sibling relationships and value of oneself are all discussed and explored throughout the book. Heartwarming. Great book!
very good!
FANTASTIC!!!👍👍👍
故事细腻地描写了普通家庭里三兄妹的七年级一个月的生活,每个人的心态和生活状态都在这期间发生了巨大的变化。fitch被同学暗恋、被朋友取笑后的懵懂的心理发展,cash看似无所事事,实际内心焦虑地寻找人生目标,bird信仰坚定,却遭受重击。最后反而是被bird感化后迷途知返的兄弟们帮助bird找回了自我。他们父母的问题留给未来。 1986年的挑战者号航天飞机发射是整个事情发展的动力,作者当时应该是同龄的孩子。本故事更适合叔叔辈的人回忆往事,不知道孩子们能否理解三十多年前的背景。
