StarBound Series #1
Ten worlds. One crew. A universe of trouble.
What if the key to saving the galaxy was hidden in a junkyard — and the only person who could use it was a thirteen-year-old girl with a wrench and a stubborn heart?
StarBound is a five-book middle-grade science fiction adventure series set in the Scattered Reach — a sprawling frontier of colonized star systems connected by ancient faster-than-light corridors that are slowly falling apart. When scrappy young inventor Zara Chen unearths a glowing alien artifact in her family’s scrap yard, she is launched on a galaxy-spanning quest to solve a puzzle left behind by the Wayfarers, a mysterious civilization that vanished over a thousand years ago. Armed with a battered starship called The Drifter, a patchwork drone named Pip, and a crew of unlikely friends from across the galaxy, Zara must race to uncover the truth before a ruthless military empire turns it into a weapon.
StarBound Beyond Series #2
Two galaxies. One teenage captain. The bridge between them is breaking.
Three hundred years from now, humanity hops between star systems the way we catch the subway — through shimmering Threadway corridors that fold space like paper. But beyond the known worlds lies the Bridge Between Stars, a passage to a galaxy no human has ever entered. Until now. Sixteen-year-old Zara Chen, the youngest captain in the fleet, crosses that threshold with a handpicked crew, a sarcastic drone named Pip, and a first-contact speech she’s rehearsed forty-seven times. What she finds on the other side will make every version of that speech useless.
