Such a good story for any age! Exciting and super cool the way she used real life tech to imagine future tech in her bookÂ
One minor critique below...
The one part that was "weak" was when Cruz's feeling about being expelled for something he didn't do. It was his dream to go to this academy, and I felt he didn't show the appropriate amount of sadness for being expelled. But obviously he would be reinstated at the end, so that might be why the author didn't elaborate on how sad he was.
