Setting: A planet far, far away, now
My comments: I did not like this book. Everything Just seemed ridiculous, every twist and turn, of which there were too many. And the ending -- Geez! Plus, I did not care for the reader at all. This young man drew out each word clearly and succinctly and slowly, enunciating every single consonant, in a somewhat effeminate manner. I know this shouldn't have bothered me, but it did. It took me months to get from beginning to end, I kept deciding to give it up, but went back to it just to see what was going to happen. Blech.
Goodreads synopsis: Micah Cole has been in deep space for four years now. While his parents chase their obsession with finding intelligent life deeper and deeper into the universe, Micah can’t help but dream of the friends he’s left behind and counts the days until the family returns to Earth. When a devastating meteor shower nearly destroys the Coles’s ship, Micah is separated from his family and stranded alone on Sovereign—a vast planet of raging rivers and towering forests. If Micah ever wants to see his family or his home again, he’ll have to learn how to survive on this hostile alien world. Armed with only his wits and determination, he’ll have to battle the elements, his own deepest fears, and a strange presence that might just hold the key to his parents’ obsession—and be his ticket back home.
