Learning to Swear in America by Katie Kennedy

4.0

A sweet, funny story about a teenage Russian physics prodigy who winds up at NASA to help stop an asteroid from wiping out a good chunk of the Western Hemisphere. Along the way he gets dismissed by "colleagues", meets an artist (Dovie), visits an American high school, crashes a prom, and learns to swear in English. Plus there's a little bit about Kant. My brain immediately inserted Star Trek's Chekhov as Yuri's voice (RIP Anton Yelchin <3).

Read for Teen Book Group this month - as a bonus, the author Katie Kennedy came to our meeting tonight :)
