See You in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng
4.0
The main character, Alex, is an eleven year old boy. He is recording on an Ipod to send it to outer space in hopes that intelligent extraterrestrial life will find the ipod. The chapters, for the most part, are the recordings Alex has made to the ipod. This gives the book a unique style.
Though the main character is only eleven, the book may appeal to slightly older readers as well since, as Alex puts it, his "responsibility age is 13." Through the course of this book, Alex deals with several issues during a journey that starts with him going to a rocket launching contest in a neighboring state: he makes new friends, meets a half sister he didn't know he had, and has to confront the fact that his mom has a mental illness which may mean he has to live elsewhere.
