Praise for See You in the Cosmos, Carl Sagan  "I love this book--the characters, the story, but most of all, the voice that writer Jack Cheng has created. It's the best I've read in a long, long, long time." --Holly Goldberg Sloan, bestselling author of Counting by 7s   "It is not always that we read a novel that so powerfully affirms our human capacity for grace and love and understanding; we need this book for the ways in which it gives us more to be human beings with. And it gives us Alex, whose face is turned to the stars." --Gary D. Schmidt, author of National Book Award finalist Okay for Now   "Alex Petroski has a big mind, big dreams, and a big heart.

Synopsis
"I haven't read anything that has moved me this much since Wonder ." --Jennifer Niven, author of All the Bright Places A space-obsessed boy and his dog, Carl Sagan, take a journey toward family, love, hope, and awe in this funny and moving novel for fans of Counting by 7s , Walk Two Moons, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time . 11-year-old Alex Petroski loves space and rockets, his mom, his brother, and his dog Carl Sagan--named for his hero, the real-life astronomer. All he wants is to launch his golden iPod into space the way Carl Sagan (the man, not the dog) launched his Golden Record on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. From Colorado to New Mexico, Las Vegas to L.A., Alex records a journey on his iPod to show other lifeforms what life on earth, his earth, is like. But his destination keeps changing. And the funny, lost, remarkable people he meets along the way can only partially prepare him for the secrets he'll uncover--from the truth about his long-dead dad to the fact that, for a kid with a troubled mom and a mostly not-around brother, he has way more family than he ever knew. Jack Cheng's debut is full of joy, optimism, determination, and unbelievable heart. To read the first page is to fall in love with Alex and his view of our big, beautiful, complicated world. To read the last is to know he and his story will stay with you a long, long time.

    As described/shown. Fairly prompt despatch. Poor packaging. One layer of small-cell bubble-wrap in poly-bag was insufficient to prevent bumped/dented corners to this large/heavy book. Should have been boxed. Okay only because book was so cheap.

    I am so grateful to the seller, Turn the Page Used Books. Unfortunately, after having ordered the book, I realized that I didn’t have enough money to support my purchase. I requested a refund and with no questions asked, the seller gave me a refund. This is good business. I promise that as soon as I am able, I will purchase the book! Thank you so much! You come with my highest recommendation!
