The team of brilliant kids-turned-astronauts are back again and this time they are heading farther than any kid has traveled before…to the moon!
But ever since Steven got back from being injured and going through physical therapy, his friends are acting a little strange. They are extra courteous to him, almost tripping over themselves to help, and stuttering over the wrong words. They mean well but Steven just wants to be treated like a regular member of the team. Plus the moon is an unstable environment, and when moonquakes keep shaking things up, the lives of the entire team are in danger. It’ll be up to the kids to trust each other’s wits, capabilities and strengths in order to get through the crisis and get each other home safely.
Crafted by the visionary minds of astronaut Leland Melvin, Joe Caramagna, and Alison Acton, dive into this riveting space odyssey, where the vastness of space tests the bounds of friendship and courage.
Leland Melvin is an engineer, educator, author, former NASA astronaut and NFL wide receiver. He served on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis as a mission specialist on mission STS-122 (2008) and STS-129 (2009), helping to construct the International Space Station. He led NASA Education and co-chaired the White House's Federal Coordination in STEAM Education Task Force, developing the nation's 5-year STEM education plan. After 24 years with NASA as a researcher, astronaut and Senior Executive Service leader, he shares his life story as an athlete, astronaut, scientist, engineer, photographer, and musician to help inspire the next generation of explorers to pursue STEAM careers.
Joe Caramagna is a veteran writer of comic books, middle grade novels and graphic novels, and more! His notable works include Disney's Duck Tales and Disney's Frozen among other books by Disney Comics, Aru Shah & The End of Time graphic novel adaptation by Disney Hyperion, and many, many Marvel super hero stories starring Spider-Man, the Avengers, and the Guardians of the Galaxy. He lives in NJ with his wife and three children, and loves American history, New Jersey Devils hockey and donuts. Lots of donuts.
Alison Acton is a Canadian artist with a background in comics and traditional animation. She's worked for studios like Spumco, Pocket Gems, Big Jump, and Netflix, and publishers like HarperCollins, Tokyopop, and First Second. She loves creating expressive characters, writing snarky dialogue, jiu-jitsu, and long dog walks away from her three almost teen boys who are perpetually competing to see who can be the loudest.
