Stellar Vacation: The Mystery of Orion: Science Fiction & STEM Adventure for Kids Ages 8-12

A boring summer vacation? Dan expected the worst. He got an intergalactic war instead. Twelve-year-old Dan was ready for a nightmare: a summer at the remote Orion settlement with no Wi-Fi, no games, and no escape. But when he stumbles upon a mysterious device hidden in the forest, his quiet vacation explodes into chaos. Suddenly, Dan and his new friend Ruby aren't just kids anymore—they are the galaxy's most wanted. Mistaken for elite researchers and armed with alien comlinks, they are thrown into a high-stakes chase where code is the weapon and logic is the only shield. An ancient enemy is rising, and the Galactic Union is fracturing. Now, Dan and Ruby must unlock the secrets of Orion before a catastrophic cyber-attack brings the Moon crashing down.
