"A girl named Petra Pena, who wanted nothing more than to be a storyteller, like her abuelita. But Petra's world is ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children - among them Petra and her family - have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race. Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet - and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship during its journey, bent on erasing the sins of humanity's past. They have systematically purged the memories of all aboard - or purged them altogether. Petra alone now carries the stories of our past, and with them, any hope for our future. Can she make them live again? " -- Publisher's description.

Dark but good submitted by Xris on May 26, 2022, 12:33pm The nature of the dystopian setting is dark, but made me keep reading to find out what was going to be the outcome. I was glad there was someone who still remembered Earth, to fight against the Collective. It also left us with a possibility for. a sequel, I hope!

Excellent award winner submitted by ahlalejini on July 12, 2022, 10:56am Great choice for awards this year- this was a truly wonderful read

Good submitted by manz on July 20, 2022, 3:47pm I am not very into sci-fi, but found this Newbery winner enjoyable. It's basically about storytelling, and that's what kept me reading.

An interesting blend submitted by TeacherN on July 25, 2022, 12:13pm An interesting blend of Mexican folklore and storytelling with science fiction.
