Talking space dogs + courageous girl astronaut + a giant, hungry catfish! 
 
Aiko is a courageous astronaut, specially trained to brave the extremes of space.  
 
The whole of humanity is counting on her success. But on a planet that shows signs of life, something goes awry, and when she wakes up, she finds … a pack of dogs? And … they can talk? 
 
Descended from the valiant astrodogs who first traveled in space, these canines have cut off all contact with Earth. They’ve found a new planet where they can live, far from humanity and their former masters. (Yes, that doesn’t explain how they can talk, but that’s a little complicated, so let’s move on.) 
 
Aiko is delighted. This discovery will make her the most famous astronaut on Earth! The dogs are … less delighted. “Finish your lunch,” they say. “We need to walk you before your bedtime.” They’re going to keep her prisoner on their planet rather than let humanity find them again! 
 
Can Aiko find her way home? Can the dogs protect THEIR home? Dear reader, we think you’ll enjoy finding out!

According to Claire’s dad, every day is a Grand Adventure. 
 
There might be a spaceship buried in the backyard, or a ghost in the basement, or a troll king who spies through the pipes. Claire used to love these stories, especially tales about her long-absent mom. But now that she’s twelve, Claire is tired of all the fantasy and just wants to know the truth. 
 
So when her dad sells their house and moves the family into a converted van, she refuses to embrace the latest Grand Adventure, despite her little brother’s excitement. Why did they really leave home? And where are they going? Without answers, Claire is faced with a choice: Will she play along  
with the stories her dad is spinning? Or will she force her family to face reality once and for all? 
 
Equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking, Wrong Way Summer is a road-trip journey and coming-of-age story about one girl’s struggle to understand when a lie is really a lie, and when it’s something more: hope.
