    Autistic seventh-grader Maggie Weir loves spacecraft, but aerospace engineering isn’t the only thing that gives her butterflies: she’s got a secret crush on an eighth grader—the amazing, baton-twirling Tatum Jones. And they’ve just teamed up for an engineering contest! It might be the perfect chance  
    for Maggie to tell Tatum how she feels, except … 
     
    Tatum is focused on outshining her genius twin brother, and Maggie’s forgetfulness isn’t making a great impression. Still, there’s something about the quirky girl with a messy backpack that sets Tatum’s heart aflutter. But before they can finish designing a low-gravity cabinet, Maggie learns that her dad  
    wants to move to Houston. 
     
    Now, Maggie must choose: Does she follow her dad and her dreams of NASA? Or does she stay with her mom to be near Tatum? If the stars are meant to align between these two, they’ll both have to fully realize their feelings for each other before Maggie leaves forever. 
     
    This charming companion novel features delightful cameos from the first book, The Trouble with Robots, and compassionately explores themes of divorce, neglect, and sibling rivalry alongside an age-appropriate budding romance.

    The Machine Stops - When...

    The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster - In a future where human contact is almost eliminated by The Machine, Vashti’s tranquil, isolated life is interrupted by a plea from her son, to experience the world outside the Machine’s influence. As Vashti struggles to understand his desire to see the stars from the Earth’s surface, a profound disconnect between their realities begins to emerge. 
    The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster is a dystopian novella that explores a future where humanity lives underground, relying entirely on a vast, all-encompassing Machine that caters to every need. People live in isolation, communicating through video screens and avoiding physical interaction. The story follows Vashti, a lecturer who believes in the Machine’s infallibility, and her son Kuno, who dares to question its authority. Kuno’s rebellious journey to the Earth’s surface reveals a world destroyed by the Machine’s dominance. As he learns the truth, the Machine begins to break down, leading to the collapse of the society it controlled. The novella serves as a powerful critique of technological dependence, dehumanization, and the loss of individuality. Forster’s work, written in 1909, eerily predicts many aspects of modern life, making it a timeless and thought-provoking exploration of technology’s impact on humanity.
