A Complicated Love Story Set in Space

Gr 9 Up–For Noa, waking up in a spacesuit floating outside of a spaceship called Qriosity is just the beginning of a strange cycle of mysteries that begin and end with a boy named DJ. Noa doesn’t know why or how he got onto Qriosity, or why he’s stuck there with DJ and the frenetic Jenny, but he knows a few things: The days all feel the same on board the spaceship, someone is playing some very elaborate tricks on them, and DJ’s dimples are getting more irresistible each hour. Toss in some aliens, a stowaway, a dead body, and some delicious spaghetti, and it is indeed a complicated love story set in space. Noa’s tumultuous past makes him wonder if he can really fall in love while trying to escape a mysterious spaceship. Strong language and descriptions of assault are included, so this may be better suited for mature readers. Main characters are white.
