BEING A KID IN 2401 IS NO WALK IN THE PARK...

Eleven-year-old Jimmy Aster the Fourth has a legendary family name—and a lot to live up to.

At the Aster Academy of Science and Technology, kids train to protect Planet Miro, a wild world where humans can bond and communicate with animals through the mysterious energy known as Orra.

But when Jimmy’s environmental scientist dad disappears on a research mission, Jimmy, his otter sidekick Otto, and his two best friends head into the wild to find him.

The deeper they go, the more secrets they uncover—and the more dangerous Miro becomes.

Saving his dad is just the beginning.
