Hello, kittens.
This week's recommendation is for my junior explorers (and the adults who secretly love a good starry adventure). Moonleapers (Book 1) by Margaret Peterson Haddix is a fast, curious romp with heart—mystery, courage, and the kind of questions that keep you peeking out the window at the night sky.
Why I paw-picked it:
Adventure with feelings: Big stakes, but gentle enough for bedtime listening.
Smart & speedy: Short chapters and propulsive plot = “one more chapter” syndrome.
Wonder forward: Perfect for readers who loved space camps, secret portals, or asking “what if…?”
Ideal for: ages 8–12 (and grownups who want something exciting but not-too-scary). Pair with a cozy blanket and a cup of cocoa (I’ll take cream in a saucer, thanks).

P.S. If your small human loves this one, tell me in the comments which character they’d want to follow onto the next leap. I’m compiling a list of “kiddo-approved” space snacks. (Tuna is space-snack adjacent, yes?)
