Meh. My 10-year-old really liked this, but I found it formulaic and the characters woefully underdeveloped. Nice concept, but I think I'll hold out to see if the sequel is better before I buy a copy for my school library.

A fun story! For an adult reading, it had issues, but I would definitely recommend it to kids who love a good space/friendship adventure.

This was so good. I loved every second. It was witty and clever. I loved the intelligence displayed while still being easy to read and light hearted. I think this is the best Middle Grade Sci-Fi you could find. It creates such a fun world that is well rounded but not so overly explained you get bored. It creates some of the best actions scenes I read with witty banter and creative solutions. I never knew what was gonna happen and I loved every second of it.

This was super cute and full of so much action! Elara and her band of friends are a very interesting mix and I can't wait to read more! I appreciate how this book talks about doing no harm is the most important thing you can live by.

Sweet, funny, adventure, and I loved all the aliens. It's a little predictable, but with the intended audience I don't think that will be much of an issue. [Also, the school felt a bit like a younger, sci-fi Hogwarts, which might be an easy way to sell it.]
