Stellar - Paperback

by Chris Bradford (Author), Charlotte Grange (Illustrator)

When disaster strikes on the International Space Station, Stella needs a whole galaxy of luck to safely return to Earth.
Stella is fascinated by stars, but her brother Ryan is bored with space already. Less than a week into their family vacation on the Space Hotel orbiting Earth, he's already complaining that there's nothing to do.

When their parents suggest visiting the International Space Station Museum, Stella jumps at the chance. But during her and Ryan's spacewalk, disaster strikes--a massive solar flare has sent out a deadly wave of electromagnetic radiation. And it's hurtling right toward them.

In their panic to return to the Space Hotel, Ryan's jetpack malfunctions. Stella must not only rescue him before he is lost to deep space--with all communications down, she must also use her quick-thinking and vast knowledge of the stars to find a way to get her and Ryan both to safety . . . wherever that may take them.
