Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
Bertie Bradshaw never set out to become a spy. He never imagined traipsing around war-torn London, solving ciphers, practicing surveillance, and searching for a traitor to the Allied forces. He certainly never expected that a strong-willed American girl named Eleanor would play Watson to his Holmes (or Holmes to his Watson, depending on who you ask). But when a young woman goes missing, leaving behind a coded notebook, Bertie is determined to solve the mystery.

Five years. That's how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation. It's also how long ago Coyote lost her mom and two sisters in a car crash. Coyote hasn't been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished - the very same park where she, her mom, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box - she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days...without him realizing it.

Publisher's Summary
"Tender and illuminating. A beautiful debut." (Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medal-winning author of When You Reach Me)
A heartrending and hopeful debut novel about a nonverbal girl and her passion for space exploration, for fans of See You in the Cosmos, Mockingbird, and The Thing About Jellyfish.
Twelve-year-old Nova is eagerly awaiting the launch of the space shuttle Challenger - it's the first time a teacher is going into space, and kids across America will watch the event on live TV in their classrooms. Nova and her big sister, Bridget, share a love of astronomy and the space program. They planned to watch the launch together. But Bridget has disappeared, and Nova is in a new foster home.
While foster families and teachers dismiss Nova as severely autistic and nonverbal, Bridget understands how intelligent and special Nova is, and all that she can't express. As the liftoff draws closer, Nova's new foster family and teachers begin to see her potential, and for the first time, she is making friends without Bridget. But every day, she's counting down to the launch, and to the moment when she'll see Bridget again. Because Bridget said, "No matter what, I'll be there. I promise."
“A powerful story about the extraordinary mind of a young girl with autism and the bond between sisters.” (Ann M. Martin, Newbery Honor-winning author of A Corner of the Universe and the Baby-Sitters Club books)
Critic Reviews
“Pantleakos masterfully blends character and plot in this gorgeous, hopeful story.” (Booklist, starred review)
“Bursting with worry, joy, empathy, humor, and even mischief, Nova is endearingly nuanced.... Stellar.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“Tender and illuminating, Planet Earth is Blue is a beautiful debut novel about the strength of a girl who knows exactly who she is, even when others can’t see her.” (Rebecca Stead, Newbery-winning author of When You Reach Me)
“Nova is a character you will never forget, who will break your heart and put it back together again in a new way. She felt so real.” (Gennifer Choldenko, author of the Newbery Honor Book Al Capone Does My Shirts and One-Third Nerd)
