Abby is so focused on getting used to microgravity, watching her little brother, Nico, and meeting her new classmates that she almost messes up Mami’s big experiment. Can she figure out how to make things right, or is she destined to be sent back to Earth?

Reviews
“Curious young readers will gravitate to its quirky wit and the relatable character experiences that mirror common ups and downs.” -Booklist
“Classroom libraries be warned: This one could wind up floating off your shelves.” – Kirkus
“By grounding the children in a setting that’s simultaneously familiar—the first day of school—and strange (in space), Loney offers an appealing take on the back-to-school story. Characterization is effective, such as Papa and his painfully bad puns (“Why did the little astronaut get in trouble at school?” “Because she kept spacing out!”). Accessible writing brimming with funny lines (“His socks smelled like sweat and peppermint. Who gets toothpaste on their toes?”) will hold readers’ attention.” – Kirkus
“Space-themed fun with encouragement for readers wondering about what the future holds.” – Kirkus Reviews
