When Max’s life-craft is pulled into a wormhole, he needs a whole galaxy of luck to return to safety…
“An action-packed sci-fi adventure that’s perfect for reluctant and dyslexic readers, Nova by Chris Bradford blasts off at full speed and never slows down. With space truckers, mysterious gravity readings and a race across the galaxy, it’s an exciting, easy-to-read choice for curious readers aged 8+ who love big ideas and bigger adventures.”
~Sarah
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!
