A thrilling, hilarious, and heartfelt space adventure for fans of found families, unlikely heroes, and zero-gravity chaos.
Theo Calder wasn't supposed to be a hero. He just didn't want a terrified little girl to die during a space debris disaster. But when his split-second decision lands him an invite to the prestigious Horizon Academy for Interstellar Exploration, he finds himself orbiting Earth with a squad of misfit cadets, a stomach that can't handle zero-G, and a future he never asked for.
Now, he's training to survive space-and everything that comes with it.
From barf-filled simulator drills and snack-heist shenanigans to trust falls in actual orbit, Theo and Squad Kepler must learn how to work together, pass the impossible, and maybe even save each other. Because in space, the real test isn't who's the smartest or fastest-it's who shows up when the vacuum hits the fan.
Stars in Training is a laugh-out-loud, emotionally resonant sci-fi coming-of-age story filled with found-family dynamics, earned humor, and the kind of growth that only happens when gravity gives out.
