Humans were supposed to land and take over the planet Somewhere 513 after the robots prepared it, but when K1-NG and the humans arrived, the robots had rebelled and ordered the humans to leave. Damaged trying to protect the humans, King’s core was transferred to a junk robot and he has been sitting ina scrap pile for the last 10 years. When two young humans, 10yo Paige and 5yo Gnat (Natalie) follow a core detector to him, Scrap (as Gnat names him) has no desire to help them, in fact he actively discourages their presence. But other robots get wind of humans being on the planet and now all of them are running for their lives. 

If younger students are looking for books to read after The Wild Robot, send them in this direction, I enjoyed Scrap’s personality, even though he keeps trying to get rid of Paige and Gnat. The other robots are also interesting - even the Mechanical Mayor, Harmony Highside.

A young astronaut named Cosmo is testing a new rocket backpack and is launched into space. Unfortunately, his team didn't tell him how to get back. So he goes on an adventure, meeting aliens, monsters and making a friend or two. 

The fun of this graphic novel is that it reads both ways, the book flips over at the ending and reads back to finish the story. The first read follows white speech bubbles, the flipped read is yellow speech bubbles. I loved how the illustrations work both ways. A cute story and an engaging gimmick. Cosmo is drawn white.

Ardent (18yo) only left the spaceship to buy the last volume of her book series. Returning to the ship should have been easy, but she somehow got into the middle of a blaster fight and had to run for her life with a stranger—a stranger that convinces her to let him stowaway on their cruise ship until the next stop. Hiding one boy shouldn’t be too hard among the passengers and crew, especially since the ship practically belongs to Ardent, whether she wants it or not.

Poston sets this Star Wars story between episodes six and seven, according to the timeline and characters Disney introduced to the universe (rather than the storylines Disney decanonized). While a couple familiar characters are discussed and make an appearance, Poston introduces a bunch of new characters to fall in love with. Seeing another side of the Star Wars universe where normal lives continue, have troubles, and resolve them without Jedi popping up to save the day every time is refreshing—but it still includes plenty of space travel, droids, and action. Even in this exciting galaxy far, far away, there are people wondering what they want to do and how to navigate difficult relationships, just like us earthling, human readers. Ardent is described as pale.

After two terms as Queen Amidala of Naboo, it’s time for Padmé (18yo) to let the democracy vote in a new queen. Most of her handmaidens already have plans for their next phase of life, but Padmé is still trying to figure out what she wants. And then the new queen offers her the position of senator, keeping Padmé in the middle of important change—and deadly secrets.

Johnston explains enough for the story to make sense, but it also assumes a background knowledge of Star Wars events that deepens understanding of significance. It also felt like there were so many characters to keep track of between all of Padmé’s handmaidens and the senators she meets with, and sometimes I put the book down to take a break from the work of keeping them all straight. Nevertheless, I was impressed that Johnston made politicking enjoyable action to read—it helps that there were also body double switches and space battles. The gap between movies that this book fills by showing Padmé’s experiences in her transition from queen to senator makes me love her all the more. Padmé is depicted as White on the cover.

A group of young scientists are traveling back to earth after visiting a distant planet. They are awake from cryo-sleep when an alarm goes off signaling that an alien life form is on the ship. After finding no sign of alien life, the young scientists deduce that one or maybe more of them have been inhabited by an alien. Can you pick the right path and figure out who the alien is?

Traitors is Space is a fresh take on choose your own adventure stories. Even though the plot is predictable, students will enjoy reading and choosing their own path. Black and white illustrations are scattered throughout with 20 illustrated puzzles that the reader will enjoy solving. I think students will really enjoy this book! Many different ethnicities are represented in the crew on the ship.

17yo Cleo has escaped the goons after her on Earth and made her way to Mars, but she has been stuck in the UN facility now for months, as she was an illegal stowaway. When the base is evacuated in an emergency, Cleo stays behind, as there is no place for her as undocumented, in any of the escape pods. Hunter may be the son of the family that owns most of Earth and Mars, but he hasn’t spoken to his mother or twin sister in years. He snuck onto Mars and before he can register, the evacuation leaves him behind too. When a team of infiltrators arrives with nefarious purposes, Hazel and Hunter team up - not realizing the danger is even more extreme than they could have imagined, with Hunter’s family being at the heart of it. The differences in their social positions and Cleo’s lies could tear them apart before they ever have a chance to be together.

While the romantic tension adds a nice undercurrent to the narrative, I loved the Mars based danger and machinations. I read one review that compared the antics to Home Alone, and I agree. Cleo, especially, is very resourceful and creative. Kaufman has just become better as she continues to write science fiction.

On a rescue mission, Murderbot intends to find its clients and get away as quickly as possible. However, it does not anticipate the stupidly complicated transportation—or lack thereof—on the giant space torus nor being forced to promise to extract more humans than it had planned for. Humans make everything complicated.

As usual, Wells drops the reader into the story just after the beginning of the action, which hasn’t been as smooth in the last couple of books as it was at the beginning of the series, but the confusing bits are eventually explained. Then readers get to follow along with Murderbot’s mission while it is still adjusting to its new mental health module that asks it to check in with its emotions at inopportune times. The humor is as spot on as always, making me want to reread the journey so that it doesn’t have to end.

In seven short stories, Kim visits the perspectives of the uncelebrated in futuristic space exploration. The main characters are those whose discoveries were overshadowed, those who were left behind, and those who don’t understand why these new fads are rooting themselves into society.

Not only are Kim’s scifi settings creative in new ways, she also fills her stories with characters that aren’t on the forefront of everything that is new and exciting. In these characters, readers can better see themselves in what the future may hold because these stories are about everyday people. Each story unfolds slowly. There is no quick action here. And in that space between reading and understanding, I have come to sit in awe of Kim’s beautiful imagination.

Tubby is a soft, nugget shaped creature who lives on the planet Nug.  He has great friends and wonderful parents.  It is almost time for him to participate in the Dunking Ceremony where he will be dipped in gold.  After he becomes golden, he has to act more like an adult.  He can only eat gold and can't have fun like he used to.  Is Tubby ready to be golden?

The Adventures of Tubby Nugget will appeal to students who enjoy graphic novels that are a little silly and not full of intense content. I would compare it to the Hilo series.  I think that students will like reading about Tubby's internal struggle to grow up.

When the flaming god bursts through the forest and almost kills them, Ben and Max have a hard time getting anyone to believe them. It has been twenty years since the final war almost ended the “New World” before it had a chance to get started. While Todd, the boys’ father, still  has his connection to the Noise, even the Spackle only have legends to help them navigate and interpret what is being heralded by the god’s appearance and disappearance. As the situation becomes more urgent and dangerous, the boys will need to figure out how to make their voices heard and hopefully prevent more tragedy. 

I will admit it - I have never read the original Chaos Walking trilogy, but Ness is so good at weaving in enough backstory that I didn’t feel I needed to read them in order to understand this new series. More intellectual than your standard YA adventure novel - fans of Scott Reintgen will definitely enjoy it. I am looking forward to seeing how Ness moves forward with what information he lets drop. Fans of the original will enjoy this on a different level as old faces are reintroduced.

17yo Will and Paige have been rivals since they first set eyes on each other in grade school. Will, as the heir apparent to her noble father, is most concerned with keeping the Eden Space Station of 3000 humans running safely and smoothly. This year is a fateful 25th year - the year 36 teens are chosen by lottery to pilot the Laika spaceships to check on the terraforming projects Earth started around the galaxy before everything went south. As a noble, Will might be exempt, but her rivalry with Paige spurs her to enter her name anyway.  Now she, with Paige as her co-sojourner, are one of the pairs being sent out on what most likely be a one-way mission. 

So hard to know what I can talk about without spoiling the book. English gives us a good mix of science fiction content and an enemies-to-lovers romance between the girls. I am not  a fan of that trope, but this mostly involves un-acknowledged yearnings on Will’s part (you never see the romance from Paige’s point of view).  I would hope there is going to be a sequel, as English leaves us on a giant cliff-hanger - giant enough that it made me angry.  But now I’m invested in the science fiction part of the plot. BTW - each one of the “f-words” was perfectly placed. 

According to the cover, Will is white and Paige is brown, but the only thing ethnic about Paige is her hair, which is constantly mentioned.

There is no rest for the weary, however.  The threat from Neptune, or Neptune’s moon Triton, actually, is real and someone is on their way to help and someone is on their way to betray - ready to do whatever they must to conquer the galaxy.

#2 in the series is very exciting, full of danger, and crammed with unforeseen twists and shocks. I have enjoyed all of Reintgen’s YA science fiction and fantasy. There is a little bit of middle novel syndrome (think of the Back to the Future movies) - where the novel at the end seems to exist to propel us to the third novel, but the action is enough to carry us beyond that feeling.

Indu was a child who was discovered alone on the moon and adopted by their mother, a spaceship pilot. The moon warned them that if they left, they would be subject to pain and to change, but the promise of a family and love were worth it. As Indu grows they discover that they are unhappy with their assigned gender and gets to choose a new name. When his mother returns them to "New Earth" and they join her family, Indu has a hard time fitting in, not only because kids know him as Lunar Boy, he doesn't speak Indonesian well enough, he's behind in all his studies, and he's pretty sure most of the kids won't accept that he's trans. Even though he finds a community like him, his new brother and sister aren't very welcoming. Maybe the Moon will take him back. 

A futuristic story about a new world that seems to have more acceptance for the LBGTQIA+ community. It's a sweet graphic novel about finding yourself and figuring out where you belong. Readers who loved The Witch Boy will get a similar feeling from Lunar Boy.

I loved the addition of Mittens, the Disgruntled - a being in the shape of a cat who takes cat-like behavior to its evil extremes. Noah and his friends work hard to save the galaxy again, while fighting and avoiding a cast of villains. Since this type of scifi is not as popular, though, I can’t rate it as essential.

Jedi Padawan Reath (17yo) is more of an academic than an adventurer, so, when Master Jora tells him that she’s taken an assignment at Starlight Beacon, he’s less than thrilled. Master Jora goes ahead, and Reath takes a later transport with several other Jedi—all of whom are hiding something. But when they get stuck in a random part of space on their journey, it’s hard to keep anything completely hidden from each other—and from themselves.

The Force can be used for good or evil, and, while all the Jedi are trying to be good, each Jedi has to find that balance of how to work with the Force personally. Not all Jedi can be adventurers, and not all can be academics, just as each of us are going to live our lives differently. Each of us can be good in our own ways and in our own spheres of influence. I love all these different perspectives that Gray gives as she switches points of view between different characters. Also, the battle scenes are as fun to read as they would be to watch in a movie.

Reath is depicted as white on the cover, Affie and Leox are described as having “tan” skin, Dez has “golden” skin, and Orla is “stark pale.” One side character is lesbian. The mature content rating is for mentions of alcohol, illegal activity, drug use, and mentions of sex. The violence rating is for assault, battle scenes, and murder.

12yo Grace can hardly wait to fly off into space with her fun mom, Kendra, and leave her boring mom, Evelyn, behind on her home space station. Unfortunately, the trip isn't everything Grace had hoped for because Kendra is so busy with work that Grace feels lonely and left out. 

 The art is nice and the story is easy to follow. Very much a family relationship story. There were so many pages establishing the fact that Grace was lonely, there wasn't much else in the plot. The space idea is intriguing, but the storyline could have been set anywhere. No set race or culture is mentioned, but Grace and Evelyn have brown skin tones and Kendra is paler with red hair.

"The Stars Did Wander Darkling" is a novel set in the future where space travel is more accessible and easier. Traveling planet to planet is child's play. The story follows a group of astronauts who explore uncharted regions of space. As they dive deeper into the black abyss of space, they find wonders and strange civilizations, each with its own secrets and challenges. Amidst the vastness of space, the crew must learn to be resilient and be able to combat the loneliness of space. 

The Stars Did Wander Darkling by Colin Meloy is a fun enjoyable book that allows readers a classic feel without reading a book that was published a hundred years ago. I loved the angle the author took about being lonely in space, it was an interesting take that I appreciated. Sci-fi isn't really up my wheelhouse most of the time but this is a good starter for anyone wanting to jump into Sci-fi. The main characters Archie, Olive, Chris and Athena are all described as being white.

Obi-Wan is 16yo. Being a Jedi Padawan is exciting! It is full of fighting practice, thrilling missions, and caring Jedi Masters! Or at least, that is what Obi-Wan thinks it should be, but his experience seems to be anything but. He hates meditation, hasn't left the Jedi temple in forever, and cannot connect with Master Qui-Gon. When Obi-Wan finds a clue that leads him to travel to an uncharted planet with hostile vegetation and kids that both seem to use the Force and have no idea what it is, he will come to understand what being in balance with the Force really means and find his confidence in being a Padawan. 

Padawan was an unexpectedly pleasant book, and students who like Star Wars would undoubtedly enjoy it. It was rather slow and was certainly more about Obi-Wan's journey to self-discovery than an exciting Jedi adventure. There was basically no violence until the end, and even then it was non descriptive and had a low body count. This novel had an exceptional vocabulary, though, and I did enjoy the writing itself. On the planet he travels to, Obi-Wan is the only human so only species is mentioned. There is a She/They romantic relationship between the leader of the kids and a shapeshifter in the crew. While relationships are mentioned, no strictly heterosexual partnerships are shown or talked about.

17yo Vega is with her fatally ill mother when she sees twin stars in the sky; her mother has taught her to watch for these stars that only show up every one hundred years and when they appear, Vega needs to find The Architect for information on how to travel to the sea. Vega's mother passes away from consumption and Vega heads out to find The Architect; she keeps asking around for The Architect, even though her mother warned her to be discreet. She enters a saloon and soon after four thieves arrive and demand money from the bartender for protection; a fight erupts and Vega gets knocked down and her constellation tattoo is revealed when her hair falls out of the way. Everyone is curious and wants to see her mark when a girl saves her, taking her out of the saloon. This girl, Cricket, takes Vega to The Architect and soon after the group is attacked and he’s killed. Noah, next in line, then becomes The Architect and vows to help Vega get to the sea. Cricket, Noah and Vega travel together as a team to complete the mission of generations of astronomers and architects; they meet danger and adventure at every turn and have to fight for their lives.

I would have liked to have more insight into Noah’s thoughts and point of view. I enjoyed the mystery surrounding the blackness in the sky and the information passed down through generations of astronomers and architects. The bond between Noah and Vega is endearing. I enjoyed the Old West setting and the mixed ethnicities.

Mando, the Mandalorian, takes another client because it’s his job as a bounty hunter, and he needs the money. Routine takes Mando to his gunship to start the trip to the target’s coordinates, a process that will lead him back to where he started for another job. But this time, with this client and this target, something feels different.

Reading the book is almost exactly like watching the show’s episodes – reading it just gets through them faster. There are sudden time and scene jumps from mini cliffhangers, and, of course, the end is the cliffhanger from the end of Season 1. The action sequences are fun to read, which is good because they make up the majority of the book.

In typical Star Wars fashion, there are several races and species of characters. Skin colors and races as we define them are not addressed and none of the characters can be implied as one race or another because of the variety, though there are images from the show included in the book which depict the human characters as white and Black. The violence rating is for gun, knife, blaster, and other weapon use as well as for battle scenes and killing.
