Quest for Planet X

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the pressure of competition or feels they must hide their true self to fit in. While set in a galaxy far, far away, the heart of the story focuses on three kids: Rooper, Dass, and Sky: who must navigate a high-stakes space race while balancing their personal insecurities and differing goals. It is an ideal pick for readers who feel like they are constantly being measured against their peers. The narrative emphasizes that true success comes from collaboration and vulnerability rather than individual glory. Parents will appreciate how the story handles the transition from childhood play to the more complex responsibilities of adolescence. It is perfectly suited for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a fast-paced adventure that uses its sci-fi setting to explore very grounded themes of trust, loyalty, and the courage to choose your own path.
