An illustrated STEM chapter book for ages 7-9 (Book 1 of the series). Space and Time are two best friends at the Faraway School of Discovery - a school you reach by school rocket. Together they explore the mysteries of the universe, learn the value of friendship, and set out to master the coolest game ever - Galaxy Quest. A quiet, mysterious kid from Earth arrives and helps them tackle the big Space-Time problem. Real science (space, planets, the solar system, how time works) is woven through a warm story about friendship and curiosity.
