My latest Newbery read is See You in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng.  Again, I stayed up far too late to finish this book.  Are you sensing a theme?  I have a hard time putting these books down.  I suppose that's why they're the best books of the year.  In this story, 11 year old Alex leaves home and heads to New Mexico to launch his rocket.  He's going to send an iPod into space full of audio recordings like his hero Carl Sagan. (Not to be confused with his dog, Carl Sagan).  Alex has had a tough 11 years, but he's got goals.  He's brave, smart, and finds his pack along the way.  I really think that students in 5th grade or above will identify with Alex and be rooting for him to succeed.
