商品描述媒体推荐The unforgettable debut novel from the award-winning author of THE DINOSAURS OF WATERHOUSE HAWKINS and WHAT TO DO ABOUT ALICE?
If you had one minute to describe life on Earth, what would you say? It's 1977, and Theo and his class are creating a golden record inspired by the one Voyager 2 will carry into space as a greeting from Earth. But as Theo searches for an original answer to his teacher's question, other questions begin to surface: What happened to his father in Vietnam? And why has his mother been keeping secrets all these years?
In this unforgettable debut novel---written with rare economy and lucidity---Barbara Kerley explores the beauty of space, the devastation of war, and the difficult choices we are sometimes forced to make. In doing so, she sensitively addresses the timeless question: What does it truly mean to be human?
