ADAPTED FROM THE ACCLAIMED NOVEL DEBUT MIRO CHRONICLES-praised by Kirkus Reviews for its “colorful settings and characters”-this full-color graphic novel brings Jimmy Aster’s adventure to vivid new life for readers ages 9-12.

BEING A KID IN 2401 IS NO WALK IN THE PARK…

Especially not for eleven-year-old Jimmy Aster the Fourth, a student at the prestigious Aster Academy of Science and Technology on the distant planet Miro. Trained to survive in harmony with the environment, students at Aster Academy learn to bond with animals using Orra-an energy source that enables interspecies communication, innovation, and cooperation.

When Jimmy’s dad–a leading environmental scientist–disappears on a research expedition, Jimmy and his friends set off on a journey that tests everything they’ve learned. With a wisecracking otter sidekick named Otto and loyal friends by his side, Jimmy must uncover the truth before it’s too late-for his family, his friends, and the fragile balance of Miro’s ecosystems.

A full-color middle grade graphic novel (ages 9-12) exploring:

– Climate resilience and ecological stewardship

– STEM skills, teamwork, and problem-solving

– Interspecies bonds and animal companionship

– The balance between science, nature, and mystery

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, and young readers who enjoy graphic novels with depth, humor, and heart, such as Hilo, Amulet, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
