The Corbulon Chronicles: The Legend of the Spacejumper

A mysterious past. A dangerous power. And a fight for the future of the galaxy. Miya Crawler isn’t like any other 12-year-old on Alpha Mion. Seven years ago, she was discovered stowed away on a spaceship, an orphan from a distant planet. Since then, she’s spent every day trying – and failing – to fit in while her indifferent foster parents wait for her to grow old enough to work in the mines. During a solar eclipse celebration, Miya is home alone with her pet saber-tooth tiger cub when her house is engulfed in flames. In a desperate attempt to escape, she unlocks a hidden power she was warned never to use – magical abilities linked to the ancient gods known as the Corbulons. Now, she’s a target for the galaxy’s corrupt rulers. To survive and uncover the truth about her past, Miya must master her newfound powers and lead her friends on a rip-roaring space adventure to save the galaxy. A thrilling, action-packed middle-grade adventure about friendship, self-discovery, and the battle between good and evil.
