Aku: Journey to Ibra -- Micah Johnson, Paperback
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Blast off into a sci-fi adventure in this electrifying debut novel starring Aku--the groundbreaking 3D character who graced the cover of TIME Magazine. This special paperback edition features cosmic sprayed edges as well as interior covers displaying a curated selection of the same Aku fan art as the hardcover. "The plot is compelling and fast paced, with nonstop adventure....An entertaining sci-fi romp with grounded, real-world tween struggles."--School Library Journal Aku has always dreamed of becoming an astronaut. It's easier to picture life among the stars than deal with the bully at school--or the pain of his grandfather's mysterious disappearance. But when a strange space helmet shows up in his basement, Aku is pulled into something far bigger than he ever imagined. The space helmet doesn't just look cool--it teleports him to Ibra, a distant planet under siege. There, precious Lunaberries are being stolen by a ruthless space militia, and Aku's grandfather may be the key to stopping them. With the help of his best friends and a few unlikely allies, Aku must dream bigger than ever before, find the courage to lead, and discover that bravery isn't about having no fear--it's about rising above it.
