Pi in the Sky

Loved this physics-filled, quirky read by Wendy Mass. I expected the science to be off but she really did her research.The two main characters in this novel are so completely lovable and unique. It is easy to get swept up in the story and it was a quick read for us because we couldn’t put it down!I read this with my daughter (age 10) and while some of the science stuff went over her head, she was able to follow and it led to some amazing post-read conversations about the universe.

I loved this book. I took astronomy in high school, it ended up being A LOT of math. I learned how to use ALL the button on my scientific calculator. Which is was so boring. Some days the teacher would pop in a video of Carl Sagan and we loved it. He made the cosmos beautiful! This book reminds me of those videos. I loved the imagination and wonder Wendy has added to her book.I also love that she has finally written a book addresses her love and curiosity of universe. We saw a little smattering in Jeremy Fink, then some more in Every Soul a Star. In this book she finally takes us off planet Earth.I am a fifth grade teacher and would love to use this book as a read aloud during our space unit. Add some imagination into the boring numbers of how far everything is away from Earth!

An exhilarating mystery about friendship, hidden powers, and secrets of the universe, Pi in the Sky is a fun middle grade novel for spirited earthling girls and awkward unearthly boys.Joss, the seventh son of the Supreme Overlord of the Universe, learns that both his best friend, Kal, and Earth are missing, but it’s the plight of Annika that spurs Joss into action.Annika is a young girl who accidentally ends up in The Realms, a hostile part of the universe where human beings cannot exist without some wacky workarounds. This reluctant friendship catalyzes Joss into saving earth, Kal, and Annika, but only once he realizes that he has always held the secrets of the universe in the palms of his hands.Ludicrous, imaginative, and entertaining, Pi in the Sky also delivers a satisfying time travel romantic twist at the end.Were it not for the gender stereotyping, I'd have given the book 5 stars.
