Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the absence of a mentor or is struggling to trust their own intuition during a period of change. While it is wrapped in a high energy space adventure, at its heart the story explores the deep bond between a student and a teacher and the resilience required to keep going when a guide is no longer physically present. It is particularly helpful for children who feel like outsiders or who are learning to navigate complex social dynamics within a group. In this third installment of the series, Rod Albright and his eccentric alien crew travel across the galaxy to find their missing friend, Snout. The narrative balances slapstick humor with profound questions about mental discipline, loyalty, and the legacy of those we love. Best suited for ages 8 to 12, it offers a safe, imaginative space to discuss themes of perseverance and the idea that the people who teach us never truly leave us, as their lessons become part of our own inner strength.
