The book is beautifully written and has a great message of the importance of the stories of our past to our future.What I didn’t like: for me, the book dragged on through the middle. I love how the author interweaves stories from her grandmother into the character’s present circumstances. She alone carries the stories of our past, and with them, the hope for our future.What I liked: great plot and premise, semi reminiscent of The Giver. But when Petra is awakened out of stasis, hundreds of years after the Earth has been destroyed, she discovers that an evil group known as the Collective has taken over the ship and purged everyone’s memory of Earth. The Earth is about to be destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children (including Petra and her brother) are chosen to leave and inhabit a new planet. Petra loves nothing more than to listen to her abuelita tell stories, stories of their ancestors and stories of the past.
