Maisie Danger Brown (yes, really) has always dreamed of being an astronaut. When she sees a contest for a chance to attended a space camp on the back of her cereal box, she enters into the sweepstake never thinking that she would actually win. She finally has her chance to escape her small home-schooled world and experience something new. But what space camp has in store for her will be much more than she bargained for. 
 I've been letting this book sit for a few days before writing a review and I still don't know how I feel about it. There are a lot of things that I liked about this book and there are just as many that I don't. A non-white female MC with a physical disability and a love of science? Yes. A racially diverse cast of side characters? Also yes. Villains who (for the most part) aren't your straight up evil for evil's sake? Yes! A romance that isn't throwing around the L word within five minutes of meaning each other? *high five* Part one of this book? I loved. I was laughing out loud and completely engaged. And then part two happened and I became disenchanted. Something broke and all of a sudden I wasn't enthralled. The pacing was off. The cast of side characters didn't develop, the disability disappeared, and all of a sudden there were references to someone named Samson and I was super confused thinking I'd glazed over a character. Turns out it's a Bible reference. These references don't show up until part three and seemed strange to me, but maybe I missed other references earlier on. 
 For those that can be forgiving about pacing and a lack of side character development and world building. Also good for those looking for something a bit harder science fiction and/or a stand alone.
