  Dead Man's Planet by Russ Winterbotham - For unmarked ages a dead man kept his ghostly vigil on that barren, frozen asteroid. 
  "A life-saver!" Mick said, bringing the space freighter down with a gentle bump on the huge, shapeless mass of rock and iron that floated between Mars and Jupiter. 
  The term huge was purely relative, for the asteroid was scarcely ten miles in diameter at its thickest point, and its axis could not have been more than twelve miles long. 
  Mick switched off the rockets, opened a locker and pulled forth a suit of heavy, furlined, airtight garments which he slipped over his uniform. 
  The communication speaker buzzed. 
  "Hey, Mick! Are you still on the bridge?" 
  Alf Rankin was calling from the charting room. 
  "Yes, Alf. What's the trouble." Mick Conner was sealing his space suit. 
  "This isn't an ordinary asteroid, Mick. It isn't barren. There's stuff growing on it." 
  "That's nothing to get goggle-eyed about, Alf. There's moss on Eros which is smaller than this. And there are 142 different kinds of plants and one intermediate—animal-vegetable—organism on Juno." 
  "Hm-m!" 
  Of course this was a surprise to Alf, who had never made a landing on the asteroids before. Science had rather neglected the asteroids during the rapid development of interplanetary flight, yet there were many interesting sights to be seen on the 4,000 minor planets that floated between Jupiter and Mars. 
  "Get on your space togs and oxygen helmet and we'll fix that broken jet," Mick said. "We'll be ready to go in three hours." 
  Mick sealed his helmet and stepped into the automatic lock leading from the control bridge to the roof of the streamlined rocket.

  Back Cover Blurb 
  Izaghi was born with a dream in his heart and a string on his chest—an invisible thread that tied him to a home he longed to leave, but could never forget. 
  Armed with a homemade device of foam claps, strings, and a small engine, seven-year-old Izaghi floats beyond the edges of his world. He visits villages where music shapes the rain, deserts where echoes carry truths from the past, and markets where stars are traded for stories. Each place holds a piece of his heart—each goodbye leaves a quiet ache. 
  As the wind carries him from adventure to adventure, Izaghi learns that not every dream is meant to be kept, and not every wish leads where you expect. But some lessons wait in the quiet places: 
  In the voice of a mother long gone. 
  In the forgiveness of a friend he thought he’d left behind. 
  In the gardens that bloom from kindness alone. 
  This is the story of a boy who learns that becoming yourself means remembering all the names you’ve ever been called—son, friend, dreamer, wanderer—and knowing when to let go. 
  For readers who believe in hope, in wonder, and in the quiet strings that pull us home.
