This book was a little absurd. I don't typically read sci-fi that involves an entirely new universe and various alien creatures, so maybe it's just not for me. However, I did enjoy many aspects of this story. Chambers created an entire universe with new creatures, social structures, and cultures. From a sociological perspective, it was fascinating. The relationships between the characters were definitely the most intriguing part of this book. The plot itself left a lot to be desired. It truly was about the journey and not the destination. If you enjoy world building and escaping into complex relationships between various species, then this book is for you. However, if you like an adventure story driven more by plot, you may want to look elsewhere.

This is my 6th read. Author James Banks led the reader in a 90 day devotional to pray for a child who despite your best effort did not display the best results expected and hence is a distorted picture of the one desired and expected. The author encourages the reader to believe that the mighty hand and heart of God is still at work and that he really has the last say in the matter. He encourages the reader to cheer up and to continue to live in the sunshine of God’s perfect will and purpose.

Graphic Novels are not my usual preferred genre but I gave this title a try and am happy that I did. This book about a seventh grader changing schools and his experiences in this more exclusive, less diverse school gives a great POV.
