Star Skimmer: Jason Randall Spriggs

 

SCIENCE FICTION/YOUNG ADULT FICTION

The space adventure begins, but not as you’d expect. It begins with a wish. A wish that came true. A spaceship called Star Skimmer, built from thousands of specialised interlocking bricks, becomes real and launches its creator Xander into deep space and stranded 420 million lightyears from home. He’ll do anything to get back, even help the weird and wonderful Myra Vanteel find her missing parents, lost and possibly held captive in a forbidden place called Rim. In return, she will help Xander find the missing piece he needs to make the journey back to Earth.

The book will be published in the spring of 2023 by RiverRun, an imprint of Foreshore Publishing.
