And a bad thing – because he’s going to be orbiting the Earth for several months and Jamie already misses him badly. Doing his homework at the observation lab one night, Jamie inadvertently picks up a weird signal on his mobile phone. Could it be from an alien civilization with a message for humankind, a message that Jamie has to get to his father before it’s too late? But how do you rescue an astronaut without heading into space yourself?" - Goodreads

Coronado Public Library 640 Orange AveCoronadoCA92118 Coronado Community READ Event: Peter Sprague Beatles Tribute Band
Coronado Community READ Event: Peter Sprague Beatles Tribute Band2023-03-31T13:00:00Celebrate the finale of the 2023 Coronado Community READ with guitarist Peter Sprague as he leads his quintet on a magical mystery tour of Beatles classics along with Sprague’s unique jazzified arrangements, which start with the familiar and then sonically travel to new frontiers of jazz and improvisation. Melt when the intro guitar figure for “And I Love Her” kicks in, tap your toe to the funky vibe that “Norwegian Wood” takes, and sing along to the chorus of psychedelicized "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds." The Liverpool Four goes polytonal! It’ll be a special afternoon!
Project Hail Mary author Andy Weir is a huge Beatles fan; in fact, he dedicated the book to The Beatles! The band also plays a small but significant role in the book.
