ONCE UPON A SPACE-TIME HC

Jide and Petra are just two normal kids until they are selected to leave Earth and join their new alien classmates on an intergalactic research mission to Mars. Too bad Jide has no idea how she ended up in the program seeing as the closest she wants to get to space is being a sci-fi writer. Petra on the other hand is the brains of the mission, but his helicopter parents make him feel like he hasn't left their gravitational pull behind just yet. What is meant to be an intra-species bonding experience soon turns to hijinx as the kids discover The Potato orbiting around their new space classroom and accidentally launch a mission of their own without any adult commanders around to supervise--or help! From New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Brown comes an out-of-this-world adventure perfect for the astronaut-in-training in your life.
