I love love loved this series in middle school! It’s still a great series but now I have some issues, the third book I thought was but anticlimactic and both Matt and Kate I found insufferable at times! But it still gave me a lot of nostalgia!

Excellent. This time Matt and Kate journey into outer space. Things get complicated for Matt when Kate gets engaged to a rich young man. Great imagination in creating their means of space travel and the ensuing problems. Read this series-I loved it!
Wow! Is this action packed. I stayed up late to finish it. I like Kate's character, since she is such a strong female character, though I also find her exasperating. Interesting concepts, for life in space and an alternative ways of space travel.
I always enjoy Kenneth Oppel's books and this is no exception! A little bit of fantasy, danger and suspense along with romance is tops for me!
This series should be the blueprint for all YA adventure novels. Thanks Kenny

I really enjoy Oppel's story telling and the Full Cast audio does a fabulous job. This adventure wasn't as thrilling as the first two, but still very compelling with a couple twists here and there with drama, complications, and new discoveries. Matt comes off as jealous and sullen for a majority of the book between being second pick in both the space crew and to Kate, who remains strong and capable. The new characters each have strong personalities while a few old favorites return. I enjoyed how this new world is painted, with a twist on space exploration. The entire series is similar to our reality, but slanted just enough to know it's occurring in an alternate reality altogether. I do wish there were more books in the series, or an epilogue to answer the "what's next" questions, but it's enough that the reader can imagine their own ending.
