Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an editor, I've always been drawn to audiobooks that strike a balance between narrative depth and engaging narration, and 'We Dream of Space' checks both boxes. De Ocampo's performance is pitch-perfect, capturing the quiet intensity of Mirabel and Félix's interactions with a subtlety that's all too rare in children's audiobooks. Where the story truly shines, however, is in its portrayal of sibling relationships – Kelly's exploration of the push-and-pull between Mirabel and Félix is both authentic and affecting. My only quibble is that the pacing can feel a tad uneven at times, particularly in the middle sections where the narrative jumps between Mirabel's and Félix's storylines. Still, the production values are top-notch, with clear sound design and a warm, inviting tone that makes listeners feel like they're part of the story. Overall, 'We Dream of Space' is a captivating listen that's sure to resonate with listeners of all ages. If you're looking for an audiobook that combines science, family drama, and a healthy dose of imagination, this is an excellent choice.
