The passengers of the Slightly Confident were never meant to be heroes. They were teachers, cooks, grandparents, and one man who packed seventeen jars of peanut butter -- because the universe is large and sandwiches are small.
When a mysterious signal calls them across the stars to the Crab Nebula, Captain Celeste Nova and her wonderfully unqualified crew leave a beautiful, troubled Earth behind in search of a new home. What they find is Maybe Paradise: a planet of glowing moss, singing mountains, lantern bugs, and a Great Hall that remembers everything.
Building a settlement out of nothing, this ragtag family of dreamers and worriers discovers that home isn't a place you land -- it's something you build together, argument by argument, stew pot by stew pot.
But when Earth's memory tree finally bears fruit, it reveals more than beautiful visions. It reveals a warning. Someone else followed the signal. And they're not coming to learn.
Bursting with humor, heart, and just the right amount of cosmic wonder, Life in the Crab Nebula is a joyful, page-turning adventure about courage, found family, and what it really means to belong -- perfect for young readers who love big imaginations and bigger laughs.
Book 1 in a trilogy. The adventure continues in The Library of Remembered Worlds.
