Leia of Earth

By Jen Frankel

Leia Gregory spends her lazy summers helping out her mom in the animal hospital in the barn, and dreaming in the big apple tree at the end of the orchard on her rural Ontario farm. But she dreams of adventure: could she be a secret agent, or princess, or travel to far-off worlds? It seems like a crazy idea-until a ship from another world crashes right at her feet. On board are the Princess of Syltasia, a far-away planet, her guardian Colin, a petulant ti-cat called Bast, and K.E.L.I., the "kinetic electronic logical interface" who helps fly the ship. Soon, Leia is off to Mars on an adventure that will change her life-and teach her a thing or two about bravery, Earth folk-wisdom, and the intriguing secrets hidden in her very own family! With an afterword by Andrew Rader, Ph.D, real-life Aerospace Engineer and author of Leaving Earth: Why One Way to Mars Makes Sense.
