Illuminae
by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Kids' Book of the Week , November 9, 2015
This is not your typical YA dystopian sci-fi romance novel. (I should know, I read enough of them.) This is the first book of any type to grab me and not let go in way too long a time. Told in hacked documents, it reads faster than I wanted it to, and way faster than a 599-page book should. It can take a bit of getting used to the jumping from one character to the next, but it's well worth the effort. That it's unlike anything I've ever read is a bonus. Don't plan on getting anything else done once you pick it up. Just pick it up soon. (12 and up)
