5 Stars- If you need some entertainment for a car ride, this is such a GREAT children’s audible! It’s set in the future and has some suspense. Luke (9 years old) and I both loved it!

This was a fun middle-grade sci-fi read for any of you who have science fiction readers out there. A pre-teen saves the ship from space pirates with some pretty cunning tricks. It's a bit like Home Alone in Space. Loved the part where he's eating reconstituted cheeseburgers and fries with ketchup floating in front of his face. Awesome!

Zero G by Dan Wells and narrated by a whole host of talented players! This is one book kids will truly enjoy! A ship is taking 20,000 people to a new world to settle including Zero. They will be asleep for 105 years but his old messed up and wakes him up after only 28 days. This is what happens during that time and how they ended up with one more person onboard the ship when they got to the new planet! Great action, excitement, humor, and suspense!The great cast of narrators made it super specia...

This one was okay, but it was a little too kiddie for me. Some midgrades will do it for me, some won't, this one didn't. It was also a pretty generic plot. I've seen about a thousand movies with almost the exact same plot. Younger kids will probably enjoy it much more than I did. This one just wasn't for me.

Very straightforward kid versus space pirates tale, but Dan Wells' Zero G was a fun listen. The story worked and it had enough science fiction elements to be entertaining as something more than a boy saves the day adventure. 3.5 stars.

An action-packed book for middle schoolish readers. It was fun and fluffy.

This is great for everyone, but especially kids who are into or want to get into science!

Fantastic middle grade fantasy infused with Chinese and Japanese elements, pirates, cryogenic freezing chambers and a navigation robot with a sense of humour. Review to come when I can get out of this reviewing slump.

This was a super-cute audiobook about a young boy who enters a stasis pod with his family to make the 105 year journey to another inhabitable planet, only to wake up before the ship even leaves the solar system.At first, it looks like it might be fun—he gets to man the cannon to shoot rogue asteroids—and he chats with the ship AI, but then things start to get a little worrisome: one, the pilot who should have shot the asteroids is missing, and two? Pirates.At that point, the whimsical nature doe...

Zero G was one of the free books that come with the Audible subscription lately. I listened to this with my kid over a series of nights (as well as rewinding and listening to parts by myself.) I was impressed with how well-voiced the work was. The plot was appropriately simple and easy to follow. It never felt like the pace lagged. I was definitely rooting for Zero to overcome, and was happy when things worked out the way they did in regards to one of the pirates.It's a bit Home Alone-ish, albei...

Nice middle-grade space adventure.Zero is a 12 year-old kid that is on a colonization mission with his family. He wakes up from cryosleep over a hundred years too early and finds he has the ship all to himself. Or at least he's the only human aboard the ship that isn't hibernating for another century. Turns out the captain has mysteriously disappeared, and therefore the ship's AI makes Zero the new captain.What follows is basically Home Alone in space. Although a less violent and also less funny...

A fun reimagining of Home Alone but in space.

This is a fun enough little book that will appeal to kids who like stories in space and child protagonists who outsmart the bad guys. The premise here is pretty much Home Alone on a spaceship.We begin the story meeting Zero and his family as they board a spaceship that will take them to a new planet to colonize. The journey will take a century, so everyone will travel in stasis and be awoken when they arrive at the new planet. Just a few days into the trip, something goes very wrong with Zero's

Very cute Middle Grade scifi. Home Alone meets space.

A super cute middle grade space character featuring an Asian main character, cryogenic characters, space pirates, physics and a snarky AI who insists that you eat your veggies!Zero was an adorable main lead—I loved his train of thought and the pranks he pulled while everyone was sleeping, and the little alien growls were just hilarious.With an engaging cast, this is a sure-fire way to entertain kids during a long drive (or like, a four hour drive because this is about four hours).My only gripe w...

This was wonderful! Home Alone in Space - a full cast and sound effects brought this delightful story to life. What a pleasure.

Mini-Review:5 Stars for Cast of Narrators & Production Team4 Stars for StoryGreat space adventure story about a kid named Zero. A malfunction caused Zero to be awakened from his pod early. A carefree exploration of the ship turns into a dangerous attempt to save the ship from pirates. Cool tidbits about space and life in on a ship are threaded into the story. A clever tale that kept me entertained from start to finish.

“What did you think it was? An alien?” This is an audiobook I got for free a while back, and I only picked it up because I'm trying to listen and to read more things I own rather than borrowing them. I'm so glad I did, because I genuinely enjoyed this so much! It's a really fun middle grade science fiction/adventure book; perfect for kids. I've seen a lot of people describe it as "Home Alone... in space" and that's actually spot on as a description. Zero and his family are aboard a colony spa

I loved Dan Wells’ Partial series so when I saw an Audible Original, for free, I had to have it. The fact that it was set in space was a huge bonus! I didn’t care that it was middle-grade. It was entertaining! What a cute story, and the production was AMAZING! And even though I read ALOT of sci-fi, I was surprised that I still learned a few new things about gravity and space travel. Well done, Audible!! And Dan Wells!!
