There's Only One Noon Yeah
And then Noon Yeah shows up.
It's late in Book 1 of the WHERE'D YOU PARK YOUR SPACESHIP? series when she appears late at night in Heen Gru-Bares's bedroom, deeply unnerving him with her claim to be a SIGN 7, sent to the planet Firdus to sort out a situation involving him.
Who is this enigmatic and electric woman who appears to be a step ahead at every turn? And where does she come from and how did she become Noon Yeah? And then how did she end up in that bedroom on Firdus?
It's all here in Book 2, in her words.
Because there's only one Noon Yeah.

I think this series is in the same vein as Ted Lasso. It seems to speak on our own humanity and opportunities to just be a little bit better to each other. I’m also just really wanting the simplicity of the life that the characters lead; I guess that’s why they call it fiction. I can’t wait for the next book.

Every single thing Rob has written has cut to the core of my being. This book is no different. No other author has wrung the level of emotion out of me that Rob can, and by just talking about yaks and clogs and woodworking, no less. Read this book.

Started slow but so splendid just like the first one. Chewing on so much good stuff after this one! Need book 3! I love Noon Yeah so much and want to be just like her!

Love love love. Thank you Rob for this book! What fun!

The BEST.
I can't even describe why. This book, this series, it's everything about life.
Rob Bell, please tell us there's a book 3 stuck up in your heart and mind waiting to stream, or if we're lucky, already streaming. Because I can't wait.

This guy (the author) is such a good storyteller, as he was with the first book. The interesting thing about this part 2 (Noon Yeah's story) is that it could easily be read first without significant compromising of part 1 (Heen's story).
The good:
-- great storytelling
-- fast pace
-- lovely descriptions of the surroundings
-- better world-building than the first book
-- the friendships are perfection
-- yaks, moomoos, and boots!
The bad/meh:
-- I cannot stress this enough: the book NEEDED some women on the editorial team. Bell just cannot write female characters. One example (of many) was how Noon Yeah, who knows like nothing before she experiences it, apparently went through puberty and got her period and just "went with it"?!? No, no girl has had this experience. It is the freakiest of firsts as an experience even for girls who know it's coming...but for a girl that did not know what it was and that it was supposed to happen. Nope, she would not have just been like 'que sera' and gone about her days. Especially a girl who was so forthcoming with questions when she encountered new things.
-- The love/date events (not saying who so as not to spoil) were so unconvincing. Like, no believable chemistry. For such a purportedly formative experience in Noon Yeah's life, this was just the driest clump of prose in the book.
I am looking forward to part III. I wonder if we will find out what became of the characters left behind. Will some of them join the resistance? Will she face you-know-who again?

So I cheated a bit and listened to the book instead of reading it, but I've found since I'm in the process of moving, it's easier to listen to audiobooks right now.
I have high hopes when it comes to aliens and these aliens sound a lot like humans on Earth which is okay - I think because Rob tends to use parallels and he does well with that in this book. I would say he's speaking in parables about Earth in both the books generally. That said, the whole inner stories sound ridiculous when you listen, but if you've paid attention to his work, he's always saying more. In this new book, he's speaking on repressed emotions in our society through another parallel world like our own and what happens if you're actually allowed to grow. It reads like a children's book but is definitely supposed to be for adults and it's supposed to be silly for a reason, so kids could likely read it too.
It's to bring out something in you as a reader that maybe you haven't dealt with.
It also means more when Rob reads his work. I love his enunciation and articulation. He has a way of settling your emotions and helping you feel calm. In a way, too, I feel like - and have felt - he's the father I wish I could've had - BUT mine has helped me in my own growth in other ways.

A fun read: lightly sci-fi, calm pacing, linear storytelling. Well-drawn characters, and it functions nicely as a prequel to Book 1 of this series (in fact, I think I liked this book better than Book 1). It went off the rails a little bit when trying to hamfistedly insert a very 2025 American Undergrad Philosophy Class instance of The Workers Righteously Restoring The Mode of Production 🙄 into like, this alien teen's totally coolest bestest first job ever where there are lots of fun dance parties, and when reverting to tired tropes of All Those Blonde People Who Only Care About Dolls and Dresses. And I think I wanted a little bit more description around the planet itself and its appearance / environmental attributes, but I did enjoy the random, very specific descriptions of food. And all the hanging around staring at the sky with New'n. I always really love books where a lot can be Happening even though nothing is "happening" in a car-chases-and-explosions way. Okay, off to eat some avocados with salt.

Where’d You Park Your Spaceship? Two continues Rob Bell’s imaginative, cosmic exploration, though it feels a bit like orbiting the same point. I get lost in the layers of meaning at times—Rob has a way of turning a sentence into a spiral, and I’m not always sure where I land.
This installment backtracks to give depth to Noon Yeah, a character who brings fresh intrigue and warmth to the story. It’s an exploration of transitions, growth, and connection, but it ends where the first book left off, which left me wanting more.
I love Rob, and I’ll always show up for his work, even when I’m not fully sure I understand the map he’s drawing.

Loved this book! I rated pt. 1 a 4 star, but this one, I found myself in Noon Yeah. Pieces of her personality - the wonder, no-nonsense, curiosity, love for the simple joys in life. I knew halfway through it would be a 5 star!

Really enjoyed this one.
It gave a new/different perspective to Book 1....at least it could. There's just enough ambiguity in some of the themes/ ideas that one could make arguments for slightly (or not so slightly?) different interpretations.....

When I read Spaceship 1 I thought that was uniquely well crafted as a story.
This is a perfect parallel story line to be interwoven with the Heen story.
Partly Feel-good but with enough challenging drama.

It was a delight to fall in love with the worlds and the people that Rob Bell created. What a gift! Thank you.

Liked Book 1 a bit more, but still excited for another based on what we learned here.

This guy, Rob Bell, cannot help but write pieces of his personality into every character and event in these books and it’s delightful.

loved it! love Noon Yeah. when are the films coming ?
July 12, 2025
I NEED book 3. Nothing hits quite like Bell.
August 16, 2025
This is a really fun series. Quirky, but I am so invested. I can't wait to see what happens in book 3.

No, this is not going to be a 5 star read for everyone; but I LOVED IT!
Such an interesting story. Noon Yeah seems to live wholly in the present and takes nearly everything at face-value.
Wait. As I try to compose my thoughts on this book, I realize that I'm not really sure why I liked it so much or why I like Noon Yeah so much. This story and its characters touched something deep in me that I can't really explain; but it resonated as something that is real. And, it communicated some things that are 'true'.
YES, I think it would be best to read the first book first.
