Description:

How amazing would it be to have a dad who is an astronaut — rocket launches, zero gravity, weightless space-walks above the Earth? Jamie Drake should think it's the coolest thing ever, but mostly he just misses him, especially with his eleventh birthday around the corner and Dad still orbiting the planet on the International Space Station. Hiding out one evening at his local observatory, Jamie accidentally picks up a strange signal on his phone, a message that seems to come from far beyond our solar system. Then his dad's mission to launch tiny probes in search of alien life goes terribly wrong, and Jamie may be the only one who can save him. Packed with real science and family heart, this Carnegie-nominated cosmic adventure from the author of The Many Worlds of Albie Bright is thrilling and moving in equal measure.
