When Leo and Naomi are drafted, along with twenty-two of the world’s brightest teenagers, into the International Space Training Camp, their lives are forever changed. Overnight, they become global celebrities in contention for one of the six slots to travel to Europa—Jupiter’s moon—and establish a new colony, leaving their planet forever. With Earth irreparably damaged, the future of the human race rests on their shoulders. For Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, this kind of purpose is a reason to go on after losing his family. But Naomi, an Iranian-American science genius, is suspicious of the ISTC and the fact that a similar mission failed under mysterious circumstances, killing the astronauts onboard. She fears something equally sinister awaiting the Final Six beneath Europa’s surface.
In this cutthroat atmosphere, surrounded by strangers from around the world, Naomi finds an unexpected friend in Leo. As the training tests their limits, Naomi and Leo’s relationship deepens with each life-altering experience they encounter.
But it’s only when the finalists become fewer and their destinies grow nearer that the two can fathom the full weight of everything at stake: the world, the stars, and their lives.

“The Final Six” is a science-fiction and young adult fiction novel written by Alexandra Monir. “The Final Six” is about teens, Leo and Naomi, who are drafted along with twenty-two others into the International Space Training Camp. After Earth becomes inhabitable, it’s up to six teens chosen from the original twenty-four to scout a new planet called Europa to save the human race. Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, is grateful to get an opportunity that will not only change his life but save the lives of others. Naomi, an American science prodigy, on the other hand, is suspicious about the mission to Europa, since a previous mission resulted in several astronauts mysteriously dying. Naomi goes through great lengths to figure out what secrets the people in charge of the mission are hiding and what exactly happened to the astronauts that died. After experiencing many encounters together, Leo and Naomi grow closer as the choosing of the Final Six approaches. The novel is written in the point of view of Naomi and Leo, whom explain their many deadly experiences and hard training. Furthermore, because most of the events occurred at the International Space Training Camp, the pace of the book was slow. I wished the characters would have gotten through with their training towards the beginning of the book and had more experiences in space. The protagonist in the novel is Naomi because she knows there’s something suspicious going on with the space mission to Europa. For that reason, she tries to find out what they’re hiding to perhaps save the Final Six and the human race. The antagonist would be the people in charge of the mission, since they know the real reason why the previous mission failed and what’s really in Europa. A major conflict in the novel would be Naomi choosing to either go home to her family or continue her mission to figure out what’s being hidden. If I had to choose a favorite character in the novel it would be Naomi, because she’s intelligent, determined, and would do anything for her friends and family. Moreover, I wish the novel had a faster pace because most scenes were unnecessary. Overall, I loved this book and I would recommend it to the people who like to read about astronomy and have an interest in science as well.
