This is my kind of plot in a scary way 😅 too accurate to a story I'd be obsessed with! Get out of my brain... I really liked the idea of following the same situation from different perspectives and slowly starting to understand the bigger picture. It definitely makes you think about how two people can experience the exact same thing and come away with completely different ideas about what happened!

I also really enjoyed the whole idea of ordinary kids suddenly having to communicate between alien civilisations. There’s plenty of sci-fi and adventure going on, but I think the communication side was actually my favourite part. It gave the story a bit more depth and made it about understanding people rather than just defeating the bad guy. This would make a crazy cool movie.

At 436 pages it is quite a chunky middle-grade read, and there were a few moments where I had to get my head around everything going on, but I enjoyed gradually piecing things together.

The multiple perspectives are what made this stand out the most for me. You don't necessarily have all the information straight away, which is the whole point!

A clever, unusual sci-fi adventure that was fun but also gave me something to think about.

4 stars from me! I'll be thinking about this story for a long time.
