The Boys of Earth-180 is just not very good. The science is bad, the story is bad, and it’s just plain strange. You have to totally and completely suspend disbelief to accept that two twelve-year-old boys are being sent on a mission by a NASA-like organization simply because their fathers, both astronauts, are lost somewhere in space. Because somehow the boys are supposed to track them down or find the earth-like planet on the other side of the sun. One of those. The end is utterly ridiculous with absolutely no explanation of that ridiculousness. My ten- and twelve-year-old boys were glad when we finished reading the book. I don’t recommend reading it.
