Flight director Leroy Cain asks if there is anything common to the sensors. Mr Kling says there is not, suggesting a general failure instead of a single system.

There are also the contrasts that keep standing out between Tom’s unhappy past, his present when things seem to be normalising even though this has its obstacles as well, and then again the mystery that the house is throwing up, unsettling things for him again.

Mr Hobaugh begins a series of radio calls to Columbia. There is no response. Mr Cain asks hopefully when a radar signal was expected. "One minute ago, flight," comes the response from Richard Jones, flight dynamics officer. Moments later, Mike Sarafin, the guidance and navigation officer, announces that Columbia's wing is encountering drag, or increased wind resistance. Mr Cain asks if everything else is normal and Mr Sarafin assures him: "I don't see anything out of the ordinary." Amy is a new student at Tom’s school and turned out she is the former resident of Tom’s new house. Amy and her family have moved to the corner house of the same street. Amy is strange and Tom can’t stop thinking that she is hiding something. Is it Tom’s paranoia from his past life or there is something really strange going on?

Nia, Tom’s mom, and Jay were such fun characters. I was also so happy for Tom’s mom to finally find a man who doesn’t beat her, hurt her, do other horrible things. Plus, I loved seeing Nia and Tom getting closer as the story continued.

The first bad news comes when Jeff Kling, the maintenance, mechanical arm and crew systems officer, reports a sudden loss of data from spacecraft sensors."I just lost four separate temperature transducers on the left side of the vehicle," he says. This is a very basic YA novel. Bizarre things that could never happen in real life, bizarre things that aren't even faintly plausible. The chapters are very short, but it didn't propel me to keep reading, in this instance it just made the book seem so much longer. I wouldn't say the anxiety and OCD rep was necessarily bad, but to me it read more like a device designed to put doubt in reader's minds rather than good and nuanced mental illness representation. I see this is an old thread but while watching a repeat of the movie The Martian, we again wondered about this phrase so, finally, I Googled it. I liked a lot of things about this book but the pacing and atmosphere are perfection! I read this in one sitting and the twists are perfectly twisty and the villains not who you’d think. I love when an author can take an inanimate object like a house and turn it into a character that is able to evoke a certain amount of emotions from both the characters and myself!The pace was perfect and the story kept me hooked throughout the book. I didn’t see that twist coming so it was perfect. Though I felt that the history of Amy’s family could be better like there could be one or two chapters from other perspective but still I liked the format of the book and The ending was also realistic.
