When Max’s life-craft is pulled into a wormhole, he needs a whole galaxy of luck to return to safety … Chris Bradford crafts for kids in this space-bending survival story. Max Nova is headed to Mercury with his father, a space trucker, when their ship is suddenly diverted. They have a new urgent mission. An abnormal gravity reading has been detected near the sun. There are fears that this could signal the start of a supernova! But what Max and his father discover is much more dangerous – and far stranger – than any supernova. Flung to the outer reaches of the universe, Max must navigate a galaxy of dangers to find his way home before time runs out! Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 7.
