In the year 2149, Earth's top young minds are chosen to attend Starbound Academy, a secret interstellar school hidden on a moon orbiting Saturn. Only kids between 10 and 13 can enroll-because that's when brains are most adaptable to quantum learning.
But this is no ordinary school. Students learn space piloting, alien diplomacy, antimatter chemistry, gravity-surfing, and interdimensional travel theory. Each year, the academy is threatened by mysteries: rogue AIs, vanishing planets, and an ancient alien signal that's been waking up long-dormant forces.The central group of students called the Nova Team, uncover a prophecy about The Child Navigator, a mysterious figure from an ancient alien race who will one day decide the fate of the galaxy. And it might just be one of them.
