What to expect
Kyler Centaurus isn’t your typical runaway. All he wanted was a quick trip to the legendary Fasti Sun Festival. Who wouldn’t want to see new stars being born? Um, try Kyler’s entire family. They couldn’t care less about mind-blowing wonders of science.
When an accidental launch sequence ends with Kyler hurtling through space on the family cruiser, the thrill of freedom is cut short by two space pirates determined to steal his ship. Not happening!
Luckily, Kyler bumps into Fig, a savvy young Wanderer who makes a living by blowing up asteroids. She could really use a ride to Earth and Kyler could really use a hand with the pirates.
But when Kyler learns the truth about Fig’s mission, the two must put aside their differences long enough to stop a threat of astronomical proportions racing towards Earth …
Critics Review
-
“The two characters take turns telling their side of the story, which gives readers a chance to compare the very different perspectives and explore their motives…The creative details and action-packed plot make for an exciting read.”
School Library Journal
-
“It’s fun to watch the ersatz sibs outwit, amid squabbles and reluctant truces, every villainous grown-up in sight to come out on top.”
