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 Shuttle 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 playing Major Havoc at the arcade on Main and wrestles with an explosive temper that he doesn’t understand. And Bird, his 12-year-old twin, dreams of being NASA’s first female shuttle commander but feels like she’s disappearing.

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 the Challenger approaches, Ms. Salonga gives her students a project - they 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, We Dream of Space is an unforgettable and thematically rich novel for middle-grade listeners.

Beautiful Story

I was one of the school children watching the Challenger launch when the shuttle exploded. I remember going through some of the same things that Bird went through in this story. This story has some hard things in it, but the ending is so perfect. I just loved it.

Breathless

I am left breathless after finishing this audiobook. There is so much heart in this story, and even though it takes place in the early 1980’s, it is so relevant today. Highly recommend.

Very nice

Super good. I personally loved this book because it was not just about space.

Worthy of the Newberry

Your favorite medication. Family struggles are real and complex. Reminds me a little bit of A Bridge to Terabithia.

I enjoyed the writing and performance of the reader.

I didn't like that the Challenger shuttle exploded. The story made me sad, but I would recommend it to others.
