Illustrated by Ruth Ann McCombs
From the author:
Tom Raynor spent every hour of every day wishing he was somewhere else—anywhere else that was outside the interplanetary city-ship that he had called home for all eleven years of his life. When Tom accidentally initiates the autopilot of a commissioned light sail ship, he finds himself careening through space toward a planet thought to be uninhabitable for generations. Once the runaway ship lands, Tom fumbles through misadventures and near-death experiences instigated mainly by his increasingly-becoming-a-problem curiosity and impatience.
Our take:
This energetic middle-grade sci-fi adventure launches readers into a richly imagined universe with a hero who’s equal parts impulsive and endearing. With classic space exploration vibes and a steady stream of near-misses, The Vesta Chronicles: Sunchaser strikes a smart balance between high-stakes survival and heartfelt growth. A great fit for young readers who love scrappy protagonists, crash landings, and stories that blend action with just the right touch of humor.
From a Reader:
“Absolutely awesome and adventurous sci-fi with a captivating storyline and interesting characters you just want to get to know! Excellently written book than is great entertainment for all ages; and a book that you won’t want to put down. Can’t recommend it enough and am already looking forward to the next installment!!”
(ALT REVIEW) “This book was perfect for my 8 and 11 year old boys! This was a great sci fi-dystopian series set between space and the Texas hill country. We were all drawn in from the beginning (…) My boys love dressing up as cowboys and astronauts so this book had them gearing up for both!”
