Satellite by Nick Lake

The Blurb On The Back:

Leo’s going to a place he’s never been before: home

Leo has never set foot on Earth.

Born and raised with twins Orion and Libra on the Moon 2 Space Station, they have grown up together in the most extraordinary of ways.

Now, they are preparing to make their first trip home – their first journey to Earth.

But Leo, Orion and Libra cannot possibly imagine the irreversible consequences that their return will set into motion …

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Nick Lake’s YA SF novel is like GRAVITY meets AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH as the story basically hinges on Leo’s experiences in having to adjust both to gravity and to life with his mother and grandfather for the first time but while the science research is great, the use of a text speak-style narration will alienate some while I felt that some of the plot was a little underdeveloped so while it’s an interesting read, I don’t think it’s a classic.
