My Review: This was such an amazing title from author Jonathan Dransfield! This middle grade novel is one of a kind where 6 kids are sent to space to save the world. Along with stunning illustrations with locations of each one this was a one of a kind story that the kids couldn’t put down!! I will say that this seemed to be just a tad long for the age group. But for kids that love space and want to read more about it then this book is the one you are looking for. The characters were great and the story itself was one that the kids couldn't put down.
