Description
Reach for the stars in this exciting graphic novel about three ambitious, space-loving kids who must put their differences aside to save their summer camp before it closes...for good.
Welcome to Camp Launchpad!
Summer is in full swing, which means a new class of kids has arrived to attend the best space camp in Florida...or at least, it used to be. With growing competition from the trendy rival camp next door, Camp Launchpad needs all the help it can get to keep its doors open.
Campers Val, Mark, and Pete are here for very different reasons: following in the footsteps of an astronaut mum, living up to expectations as a vice president's son, or getting a once-in-a-lifetime scholarship. But they all have one huge thing in common: Their future in the stars launches from here...if there's still a camp to launch from.
When the hotshot owner of the rival space camp makes a ten-million-dollar bet that could turn Camp Launchpad around, this unlikely trio must band together to pull off a miracle. If they don't, this could be Camp Launchpad's last summer ever!

Born in Great Falls, Montana, Michael Tanner kept moving west until he hit the ocean and then he went south and stopped in Los Angeles. He had lived there longer than anywhere else so now considers himself an Angelino. He truly believes it is the greatest city in the world...once you figure out how to stop getting parking tickets. He has recently relocated back to the Pacific Northwest because he missed the colour green and everything being damp all the time. His other works include Junior Braves of the Apocalypse, Orcs in Space, and Battle Grapple: Rebel. Greg K. Smith is a writer and podcaster from Seattle, WA.
