About this book

Perfect for fans of Hilo! Created by real-life astronaut Leland Melvin! The action-packed space adventure continues! The team of 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 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.
