In all seriousness, it was bought by HarperTeen as a standalone, but I have an entire sequel/companion novel outlined that I would LOVE to write one day. If you want more of Nax and the crew, let HarperTeen know!(less)

I just finished (It was fantastic... just as an aside) I've already read 'ready player one' and a few other sci-fy books so I've encountered a problem of what the hell to read next? If anyone has a suggestion please help.

Rachel Across the Universe by Beth Revis.
Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan.
The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.

Those three series are my favourites.…moreAcross the Universe by Beth Revis.

This has been listed as LGBT. What's the rep? (curious before I read it)

There's another protagonist who's mlm (though we don't know specifics around his identity), and one of the protagonists is a trans girl. The mlm rep in general is pretty good, but the trans rep is kinda meh? I'm trans and I had mixed feelings about it - in short, I thought it could've been written better, and I wouldn't recommend this book to someone looking for trans rep specifically.

The characters never directly experience homophobia or transphobia but it's sometimes mentioned as an offhand comment in conversation or as a part of a character's backstory. Overall not a bad read if you're looking for rep, but I also don't know if the author herself is queer and I don't think she had a sensitivity reader, so take it with a grain of salt.(less)

Is this appropriate for 5th & 6th graders?

Julia I'd say no, as there are many curse words (f*ck, sh*t) included in this story.…moreI'd say no, as there are many curse words (f*ck, sh*t) included in this story.(less)
