woah. I wouldn't really say this book is science fiction (I probably wouldn't point a hard core sci-fi reader to it), but it is wonderful. Henry makes depression seem very real and understandable in a way that most characters don't (at least in teen fiction). Also there are aliens, but they're mostly peripheral.

A book about grief and healing, figuring out who you are and how to deal with it and periodic alien abduction. Asks us to consider if the world is worth saving.
