I was very excited when I heard about this book. I love to read middle grade in between chunky fantasies and sci-fi books. There aren't very many middle grade books that are sci-fi, so this was a treat.

This follows Max on his small space station called Azura. Max loves music and engineering. Max also loves Azura. He can't imagine living anywhere else. Azura is like a small town, they don't get many visitors. There is no tourist industry. So when a man named Mr. Hames shows up in his fancy spaceship, Max feels his protective instincts kick in. There is more to Mr. Hames than he's letting on. Max intends to find out what he's hiding.

This is a short book, but it's full of action and messages. It covers grief, poaching, and endangered species. I loved it!!

I received a copy from Net Galley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

** I received this as an E-ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review, Thank you!** 

I absolutely adored this book. I enjoyed the characters, the creativity, the setting, everything was great! I loved that part of this book's message is that it's okay to be an adult but never lose your sense of wonder and adventure that you had when you were a kid. I think the age range that this is intended for will absolutely love this. I think the author did a fantastic job at not only writing the story but also making it easy to feel connected to the characters. Overall I highly recommend picking up this book.
