For this week, I chose Satellite by Nick Late, due out October 3rd!
A teenage boy born in space makes his first trip to Earth.
He’s going to a place he’s never been before: home.
Moon 2 is a space station that orbits approximately 250 miles above Earth. It travels 17,500 miles an hour, making one full orbit every ninety minutes. It’s also the only home that fifteen-year-old Leo and two other teens have ever known.
Born and raised on Moon 2, Leo and the twins, Orion and Libra, are finally old enough and strong enough to endure the dangerous trip to Earth. They’ve been “parented” by teams of astronauts since birth and have run countless drills to ready themselves for every conceivable difficulty they might face on the flight.
But has anything really prepared them for life on terra firma? Because while the planet may be home to billions of people, living there is more treacherous than Leo and his friends could ever have imagined, and their very survival will mean defying impossible odds.
Why I'm Waiting
First, that cover. I mean, I love it!! Second, teens in space! This is everything I've ever wanted. This book was practically written for me. Satellite seems like a great spin on your classic coming of age story. And hopefully, there will be some scenes in space too! :D
Are you looking forward to Satellite? Have you ever read anything by Nick Lake?
Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!
Happy Reading!
