Once Upon a Space-Time

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Jedi Academy books comes the first in a hilarious space-themed graphic novel series.

Once Upon a Space-Time introduces Jide and Petra, two normal kids who are selected to leave Earth and join their new alien classmates on an intergalactic research mission to Mars.

Too bad Petra has no idea how she ended up in the program, seeing as the closest she wants to get to space is being a sci-fi writer. Jide, on the other hand, is the brains of the mission, but his helicopter parents make it clear he hasn't left their gravitational pull behind quite yet.

What is meant to be an intra-species bonding experience soon turns into hijinks as the kids discover The Potato orbiting around their new space classroom. They accidentally launch a mission of their own without any adult commanders around to superviseβ€”or help!

From New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Brown comes an out-of-this-world adventure perfect for the astronaut-in-training in your life.
