About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is curious about the future or feeling small in a big, complicated world. It is an excellent choice for young readers who are starting to grapple with the concept of global responsibility and the anxiety that can come with awareness of natural disasters or environmental threats. By placing children in the driver's seat of a high stakes space mission, it transforms potential fear into a sense of agency and purpose. Set in the year 2050, the story follows Noah, Sera, and Jiji as they serve aboard the Starseeker space station. Their mission is to identify and neutralize asteroids that threaten Earth. The book masterfully balances technical space elements with the emotional reality of teamwork and bravery. It is highly appropriate for the 7 to 10 age range, offering a fast paced adventure that builds vocabulary and introduces basic astronomical concepts without being overly academic.
