Title: Across the Universe Author: Beth Revis Publisher: Razorbill Publication Date: January 11, 2011 ISBN-13: 9781595143976 398pp. Reading copy from local library Finally catching up with my January selection for the Debut Author Challenge, which is Across the Universe by Beth Revis . This book has gotten a lot of well-deserved buzz, including being chosen as one of Amazon's Best Books of January 2011 and a starred review from Kirkus . And I'm going to add my fangirl squee to all the rest of the rave reviews. Before I explain why I loved, loved, loved this book, here's what the book is about. Amy's parents are essential for a colonization mission to a new planet. Amy is not. But she chooses to leave her friends, her boyfriend, her life on Earth to be with them. Even though that means she'll be frozen for 300 years while the spaceship travels to the new world. Except there's one problem. Amy gets unfrozen 50 years too early. Was it a mistak...
