A Hole in the Sky

3.5 stars. Too bad the publisher's blurb gives away the entire plot!
Will review at www.fantasyliterature.com.

This was a fairly goofy early YA sci-fi that I'd say is perfect for middle grade readers who are interested in reading more difficult topics but maybe aren't quite ready for everything in YA books. It's fun sci-fi that doesn't feel at all like it's set on a spaceship, which some people may really like (it wasn't for me unfortunately), and goes completely off the rails as the story progresses. Don't look too closely at the plot. Don't take any of it too seriously. Just enjoy it for the adventure and look at it with tweens and younger teens in mind. That being said, my enjoyment was minimal. It wasn't bad but it really lost me in the last third or so.

If you like following girls shopping for dresses and shoes, this one is for you.
If you like cool, adult epic scifi, this one is not for you.

The ending was kinda cool though, I have to admit. Not cool enough to keep on reading though.
