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 ShuttleĀ 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 playingĀ Major HavocĀ at the arcade on Main and wrestles with an explosive temper that he doesnāt understand. And Bird, his twelve-year-old twin, dreams of being NASAās first female shuttle commander, but feels like sheās disappearing.Ā
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 theĀ ChallengerĀ approaches, Ms. Salonga gives her students a projectāthey 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,Ā We Dream of SpaceĀ is an unforgettable and thematically rich novel for middle grade readers.
We Dream of SpaceĀ is illustrated throughout by the author.
