Twelve-year-old Jace Keller’s secret-a shimmering wormhole fragment called the Spark-links him telepathically to the cosmic mystery that swallowed his parents. But when ruthless pirates raid his space station home and snatch it, Jace’s quiet life shatters. With his sharp sister Lena, a glitchy scout drone, and inventive pilot Ravi, Jace blasts off in a rickety freighter on a high-stakes chase across the stars. Dodging asteroid fields, shadowy markets, and a villainous pirate lord, they uncover the Spark’s universe-altering power, and clues to his family’s fate. As dangers mount and friendships forge, Jace faces a galaxy-changing choice: save the Spark... or risk everything to rescue his parents? Middle-grade sci-fi. Full speed.
