"We Dream of Space" by Erin Entrada Kelly is historical fiction for kids
We dream of Space by Erin Entrada Kelly deals with three young teens who live in the same family--Cash, Fitch and Bird. They all go to the same school where the focus is on space and the launch of The Challenger. It is also about their day-to-day lives. I thought this book was pretty good and I enjoyed all the kids. It flowed along well with some funny parts too. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)
Teaser from page 22: "Maybe if you had a three-dimensional brain, you wouldn't be failing seventh grade for the second time," Fitch said. "Good luck getting any homework done with your right hand in a cast. Not that you know how to do it anyway."

"You and Me and Us" by Alison Hammer is Very Good!
You and Me and Us by Alison Hammer is told mostly by Alexis who lives with Tommy. Tommy always wanted to have a wedding and make it official, but Alexis does not want that. CeCe, their daughter, also tells some of the story. Tommy has always been there for CeCe. Alexis, who runs her own business, not so much. Unfortunately, Tommy has health issues and his time is short. The story is about how these two women deal with this and other things that come up.
I was into this book from page 1. The writing is good and I enjoyed all the characters very much. I think this book would make a good movie! Must read this one! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
Teaser from page 25: "It won't. And I'm not going to put you or CeCe through what I went through with my mom. The false hope, the pain and suffering."

"Brave Like That" by Lindsey Stoddard
(Karen's review, 4 stars)
Gerard's review 7/28/20:
In Brave Like That by Lindsey Stoddard, Cyrus is a young teen boy whose life changes when a stray dog comes into it. Cyrus goes against his father's wishes by keeping the dog a secret, but for how long? When the secret is exposed, will Cyrus be brave enough to stand up for what he wants? I thought this book was pretty good even though it is geared to children. If you enjoyed the movie and book Wonder, you will enjoy this one. It is a quick read.
(4 stars)
Teaser from page 6: Tears burn behind my eyes because it doesn't feel right to just leave him here. It's now where he belongs.
