The Nebula Secret by Trudi Trueit

5.0

Reading the first in a series is only satisfying if there is some resolution to the story contained in th3 book. If I never read another of these, I still thoroughly enjoyed this one. It's a sci-fi story sponsored by National Geographic, about a future where young teens are selected to go to Explorer Academy in DC. Cruz Coronado lives in Hawaii, where he and his father moved after his mother's death. She worked at the Academy, as does his aunt, and died in an accident there. As Cruz settles in, mysterious events lead him to the knowledge that his mother's death was no accident. He also learns that she has left him clues around the world to the solution of who? Wonderful depiction of future learning and teaching. Exciting adventure and friendship story.
