Dangerous

This was one of those increasingly rare books that handles teenaged inability to think clearly with heightened awareness and reasoning REALLY well. The capabilities of Maisie (particularly in the technological know-how, scientific reasoning, scheming, etc.) are believable if only because they are explained by well-crafted plot devises. But take away those and she's back to being a normal, slightly above averagely intelligent girl. Refreshing, since most books these days have undiagnosed geniuses for protagonists.
Regardless, this was an excellent read. I literally couldn't put it down. Stayed up WAY later than normal to finish it. Another home run, Mrs. Hale!

Aw jeeze. I really liked the first third of this book, where it was about space camp and kids getting cool mysterious powers from space. And I really liked that it has a disabled Latina girl as the heroine!! And a Captain Planet-diverse team of friends. How could this go wrong?

I didn't like how the last 2/3 were realll boring and slow. I don't understand. It's about kids with SPACE POWERS why was it so BORING. I think there was maybe excessive detail given to the mechanics of the space powers...? And like... too much dumb love triangle (GAH)?

I think it's tween friendly–the most intense the love triangle gets is kissing. Some characters do die, but the violence isn't gratuitous.
