Editorial Review For Way Up There
Way Up There follows Drake Teach, a teen stuck in a town that drains the life out of people. He learns he will not graduate, so he eggs the principal’s car and leans fully into his bad decisions. His sister Willow stays close through the mess. She sketches planets, keeps her feelings buried, and deals with cruel people at school. Strange events start stacking up fast. Crop circles appear. People vanish. A flying saucer enters the story. The town shifts from dull to dangerous in record time.
The characters carry the book from start to finish. Drake talks tough and Willow brings heart to the story with her quiet anger and sharp thoughts. Their bond feels real on the page. The dialogue sounds natural, and the humor hits at the right moments. The scenes with bullies, parents, and teenage drama feel honest. Readers will recognize these people right away, which makes the story easy to sink into.
The novella fits into sci-fi with a strong small-town mystery feel. Alien stories have filled bookshelves for years, and this one keeps the focus on teens, family problems, and strange events creeping into daily life. Comic books, secretive adults, crop circles, and missing people keep the pages moving. The title hints at strange things in the sky, and the story delivers on that promise early.
Readers who enjoy teen sci-fi will have fun with this book. Fans of sibling stories, weird towns, and awkward teenage moments will move through it fast. The teenagers sound like real teenagers instead of adults trapped in school lockers. That alone earns the book some respect.
Way Up There brings humor, mystery, and characters that stay interesting through the full story. The novella moves at a good pace and keeps enough questions hanging in the air to pull readers into the next chapter. Drake may never become student of the year, and honestly, the story gets more fun every time he fails.
