YA
With her sister and parents absorbed in their own issues, Scarlett, sixteen, takes on the care of her autistic younger brother, Cliff. It is 1969, and after the moon landing, Cliff decides to build a rocket to fly to Jupiter, an ambition Scarlett spends her summer supporting. Christian readers will relate to Scarlett's unwavering faith, but this novel by a teen author is unevenly plotted.
