He didn't want to send this one back to the library when he was done with it, so that means he really liked it.

A traditional science fiction structure filled with absurd content that makes for hilarious fun. The book is both straight man and comic in a way that works marvelously. Astra and her family join an expedition to a new planet in a distant galaxy that will include 199 years suspended in special sleeping pods. Except she wakes halfway through the journey to malfunctioning AI on her ship, intelligent, aggressively omnivorous cakes, aggressive alien scavengers, and a Nameless Horror from deepest, darkest space. It's up to her to save the ship and all of her trapped traveling companions. It's nicely illustrated, to boot.

This was a cute book for kids who might like space stuff. I was really happy at the end when the whole thing wasn't a dream sequence!

Quite simply, the most delightful book I've read in ages. My seven year old daughter loves it too.

Both my 7- and 9-year-old think this book is great. The scavenger robots are silly. I thought the premise of the book was clever, with a young girl moving to another planet with her family. The planet is so far away that she needs to be put in a sleeping state until she arrives. Unfortunately, she gets hungry...

Overall I'd say this story is not quite as good as Oliver or Pugs, but it's still a good read for younger kids. Also, it's one of the few sci-fi stories suitable for them.
