Description

⭐️ EDITOR'S PICK, BookLife by Publishers Weekly ⭐️ Gold Medal, 2023 Mom's Choice Awards ⭐️ Gold Medal, 2023 Readers' Favorite Awards I’m pretty sure I’m about to die in space. And I just turned twelve and a half. Blast off with the four winners of the StellarKid Project on a trip to the International Space Station and then to the Gateway outpost orbiting the Moon! It’s a dream come true until space junk collides with the ISS, turning their epic trip into a nightmare of survival. Alone aboard the Aether starship, the kids have to work as a team to save the adults before the ISS is destroyed. Suit up, cadet, and launch into adventure with One Giant Leap! Praise for One Giant Leap “One Giant Leap provides a vivid first-person account of space travel in all its terrifying glory precisely because it comes from someone who hasn't yet learned how to filter his unabashed wonderment.This exciting science fiction adventure is geared to readers looking to push their boundaries.” —BookLife by Publishers Weekly, EDITOR'S PICK “Relatable characters ground a story that's suspenseful, funny, and heartwarming.” —Kirkus Reviews “Gartner’s trademark cinematic writing makes you feel like you’re right there in the middle of the action. Mixed with humor and heart, kids will love this adventure!” —Sam Subity, author of The Last Shadow Warrior “A heart-pounding, zero-g adventure, with kids who save the day, and a few mysteries thrown in for good measure. It’s like Gravity meets Space Case. I couldn’t stop reading!” —Adam Perry, author of Ghosts Come Rising “Smart, fast-paced, an absolute must for anyone who dreams of space. STEM fans, take note! This thrillride is for you!” —Katie Slivensky, author of The Countdown Conspiracy “Ben Gartner is the master of middle-grade voice. I was instantly hooked on this fast-paced space adventure. It’s the perfect blend of action, visual storytelling, and mystery. You don’t want to miss this book!” —Fleur Bradley, author of Daybreak on Raven Island “An excellent, STEM-focused narrative that will inspire middle grade readers with moments of true emotion and self-realization that anchor the story in the complicated realities of adolescence.” —Mary Lanni, reviewer for School Library Journal
