The beloved author of Posted and Ms. Bixby's Last Day returns with the first book in a coming-of-age sci-fi duology about Leo, a kid trying to navigate the galaxy in order to save his familyâ??and, possibly, the planet Earth.

When scientists discover a rare and mysterious mineral buried in the Earth's crust, they have no idea that it just happens to be the most valuable substance in the entire universe. It's not long before aliens show up to our little corner of the galaxy offering a promise of protection, some fabulous new technology, and entry into their intergalactic coalitionâ??all in exchange for this precious resource. A material so precious that other alien forces are willing to start a war over it. A war that soon makes its way to Earth.

Leo knows this all too well. His mother was killed in one such attack, and soon after, his father, a Coalition scientist, decides it would be best for them to leave Earth behind. It's on this expedition that their ship is attacked, Leo's father is kidnapped, and Leo and his brother are stranded in the middle of space. The only chance they have is for Leo to stow away on a strange ship of mercenary space pirates bound for who knows where and beg the captain to help him find his father.

But the road is dangerous, and pirates, of course, only look out for themselves. Leo must decide who to trust as he tries to stay alive and save his family, even as he comes to understand that there aren't many peopleâ??human or alienâ??that he can count on in this brave new un… (plus d'informations)

This has to be one of my favorite Middle Grade Sci-Fi books I have ever written. The way that Anderson weaves the tale of Leo Fender and his family is both heart wrenching and hopeful. An alien race has stumbled upon Earth and they appear to be friendly. They are willing to give the human race advance technology and medicine in return for a very rare resource hidden deep within the Earth's crust. The only thing is, another alien race wants it as well or at least doesn't want the other to have it. We follow Leo on his journey leaving Earth and fighting the unknown with pirates, aliens, and self doubt. I highly recommend this book. I truly enjoyed it. It seems to be a series, so I can't wait for the second one to come out so I can see where the story takes us. ( )

Well, it may sound cliché, but it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Whether you're a die hard science fiction fan or simply a dabbler that loves a good story no matter where it takes place, this one is for you!

The adventure that awaits at every turn of the page will leave you feeling like you've just gazed at the most amazing starfield and can't look back down. I loved how we got caught up on the past while still driving forward in the present. I loved the varied cast of characters and how you could never really pin them down in the best way possible! I loved the unexpected moments of laughter, violence promised (but not overtly so!), and awkward moments defused in ridiculous ways! Boo's kiss...Skits rescue...Leo's inhaler...all moments among the moments I won't soon forget and YOU should watch for! And yes, it ends with loose ends because it IS a duology, but not so many that you don't get a clear picture of where we've landed after all is said and done.

Thank you NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

This wasn't the most original story, it seemed to be a typical science-fiction adventure. There were a lot of current pop references, which seems like it'll date this book quickly.

I would recommend this to someone who doesn't have much science-fiction experience. The story was fun and the characters were memorable ( )
