These tales of space junk, multiverse navigation, an asteroid named Doomsday, and bees and marmots in space pulse with honesty and optimism. Whether home is a planet, a moon, a space station, or a fleet starship, relatable protagonists of different genders, classes, nationalities, ethnicities, and orientations face challenges--some harrowing, some hilarious--true to their moment in time and space. Brisk plots, resonant themes, and scientific rigor define these forward-facing stories by leading middle-grade authors. Taken together, the tales champion youth agency through characters who approach science in adventurous ways, underscoring that we are all, indeed, made of the same luminous stuff. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith stories by: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Alexander * A.
