Rezensionen
"Newbery Medal-winning Kelly contemplates space exploration and sibling bonds in her latest captivating novel. . . . Another wondrous title from a remarkably talented author." - Booklist (starred review)

"Newbery Award-winner Kelly follows three Delaware siblings in the weeks leading up to the January 1986 launch of the Challenger. . . . Kelly shows the incredible power of words-the irreparable damage they inflict and their ability to uplift-while crafting a captivating story about family's enduring bonds." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Entrada Kelly tells the story . . . of Cash, Fitch and Bird . . . [and their] power to form the family they want themselves. Lyrical but direct writing, relatable characters, and an engaging 1980s setting give this thoughtful read high appeal for middle grade readers." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"With short chapters focusing alternately on each sibling, Kelly establishes distinct and original characters . . . Kelly creates a crisp, moving portrait of family dysfunction and the resilience of the young." - Horn Book (starred review)

"It's January, 1986, and each of the three Nelson Thomas siblings has a focus. . . , Bird, who loves science and engineering and imagines nightly conversations with Challenger astronaut Judith Resnik . . . [is] the calm core of the novel, but readers in the know will feel the tension ramping up as the much-awaited launch date comes closer. . . . Newbery winner Kelly is particularly skillful in weaving the event into the lives of her characters . . . Perceptive." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)

"We Dream of Space offers an exceptional portrayal of the endless ways in which parental dysfunction affects every member of a family. It's also a celebration of the need for optimism, compassion and teamwork in the face of disasters both individual and communal." - BookPage.com (starred review)

"Kelly writes a heartfelt story of family and the bond of siblings. . . . Put this book in your orbit." - Kirkus Reviews

"In this captivating follow-up to her Newbery Medal-winning "Hello, Universe," Kelly . . . has a minimalist's knack for gesturing beyond what's on the page. . . . We Dream of Space moves gracefully between small-scale middle school dilemmas and galaxy-size existential questions, such as whether we should go into space at all. Bird, "just a girl in Park, Delaware," can't stop thinking about being a speck of cosmic dust. Thanks to exuberant Ms. Salonga, there's lots of space lore in the novel. Notably, the characters most interested in science are female. . . . A hard-won, timeless lesson." - New York Times Book Review

"As the country awaits the launch of the space shuttle Challenger, three very different siblings-Cash, Fitch, and Bird-must navigate challenges of their own. . . . A 10 out of 10 . . . Anyone interested in science, sibling relationships, and friendships will enjoy reading We Dream of Space." - Time for Kids

"Kelly's skill at mapping the bonds of family shine here-you'll root for these three [characters] as they develop hard-won resilience." - Austin American-Statesman

"This moving book follows a family in January 1986 on the precipice of so much-siblings Bird, Fitch, and Cash are all in the same grade, and . . . the siblings are hanging on . . . through their shared science teacher. . . . This slice-of-life book is aching and hard, and when the Challenger launches, all of the pain built up in each of the siblings explodes. Readers who want feelings-heavy books will be enraptured with this one. All of the characters are compelling, complex, and sympathetic." - Book Riot
