The Libri GmbH The Stardust Seed Paperback

What if a tiny seed could ride a beam of light all the way across the galaxy? The Stardust Seed is an action-packed space adventure about a brave young scientist, a dying star, and one small seed that carries the hope of an entire world. When shaking volcanoes and a strange red sky signal that her planet's sun is dying, twelve-year-old Ilyaam and her friends uncover an amazing secret: light doesn't just shine, it pushes. And if you build something small enough and tough enough, that push can carry it all the way to a brand-new star. Racing against earthquakes, erupting volcanoes and a Council that doesn't believe her, Ilyaam and her friends build a daring plan to launch a living seed into space, one that could one day grow into a whole new world. The seed's incredible journey takes it drifting past comets, through swirling clouds of space dust, into the fiery birth of a new sun, and down onto a wild young volcanic planet where nothing has ever lived before. Packed with space adventure, real astronomy, volcanoes, shooting stars, brave kid explorers, and the wonder of how new worlds and new life begin, this is a story for young readers who love space, science, survival and discovery. Perfect for fans of adventurous science fiction, planet-building, and stories about hope, courage, and starting over.
