Summary
As a 12-year-old, did you ever dream of leading a mission into space?
The year is 2068. Scientists at Space Command must learn how children manage in space without adults. They advertise for a leader for the first-ever child-only mission.
During the day, Sophie Williams struggles to fit in at her new secondary school, and bizarre recurring dreams torment her at night. She misses her dad and would do anything to make him proud. The Space Command advert sends shivers down her spine. Maybe this is her chance.
The selection process pushes Sophie to her limits, but eventually, she finds herself strapped into the enormous spaceship and leading her team on a journey of discovery.
Being in space with three other kids, a robot, and a dog is so much fun at first, but Sophie has no idea what her team will discover or what dangers they will face.
This uplifting story inspires children to believe in themselves and reach for the stars. It provides us all with hope.

An inspirational story - just brilliant
I tried this for something to listen to when driving with the kids. As soon as it started, we never wanted our car trips to end! We got so engaged in Sophie's adventure, firstly seeing whether she would make it into space, and then finding out where she'd end up. And we were not disappointed. Just, wow!
The story flowed beautifully and the narration was excellent. We enjoyed Sophie and her mum's Welsh accents and the characters from different countries were great. The kids particularly loved Codey the robot and Biggles the dog.
And the twists towards the end relating to Sophie's late dad. Mind blown!
I really liked the books core message - that hard work, perseverance and team work pays off.
We can't wait for a sequel. Just an awesome book that will be loved by kids and adults.
