Your child will meet:
- Moonquakes are vibrations within the Moon, although the novel can exaggerate their frequency or effects for suspense.
- A structure must withstand loads from shaking as well as its ordinary operating conditions.
- A crew responds to an emergency by combining specialized observations, skills, communication, and backup plans.
- A person's recovery from injury does not make that person incapable of contributing to a technical team.

Parent effort: Quick discussion
When a team of brilliant kids-turned-astronauts find themselves in serious trouble in outer space, they must work together to get back home in this STEAM-driven series created by real life astronaut, Leland Melvin! The team of kids-turned-astronauts are back again and this time they are heading farther than any kid has traveled before...to the moon! Since Steven returned from injury and physical therapy, his friends have started treating him differently--overly careful, overly polite, and walking on eggshells around him. They mean well, but Steven just wants to be seen as a regular member of the team again. Meanwhile, the Moon itself is becoming increasingly unstable. As moonquakes shake the base and threaten their mission, the entire crew is pushed into danger. To survive, the kids will have to trust each other's skills, strengths, and instincts to make it home safely. Packed with fast-paced storytelling and dynamic visuals, this adventure delivers: - exciting, kid-friendly space exploration - teamwork-driven challenges and problem-solving - humor blended with STEM-inspired concepts - diverse, relatable characters in training - and high-stakes missions perfect for young readers Praise for Space Chasers: "[A] series that will show kids that if they can dream it, they can do it." --People Magazine "...encourages more kids to explore space if they want to or never thought they could." --Parents Magazine "An entertaining and heartwarming journey into space." -- Kirkus "H and this to middle school kids who are looking for a STEM -adventure." -- School Library Journal "O ptimistic and inspiring." -- Booklist "Dynamic, expressive." -- Publishers Weekly
