The year is 2052, and the race to space has a new twist. The smartest kids that planet Earth can assemble have been given a formidable and important task: to be the first child astronauts to go to space! 

Amidst the team of pre-teen PhD graduates, medics, engineers, and Pulitzer prize winners, is one pretty normal kid: Jamie—who doesn’t know exactly why they were selected for this adventure. On their journey, the Cosmikids find themselves hurtling off course through a black hole to another galaxy, and in an instant, the smartest kids from planet Earth feel a lot more like a group of lost, scared children than anything else. When a knock on the spaceship doors brings in a fellow crew of aliens, the two teams quickly realize that they are not enemies, but instead must work together to battle a more imminent threat: a planet-sized cat that also came through the black hole, and is now a threat to the future of the alien solar system! 

Together they must send the giant cat back to the galaxy it came from, and get the Cosmikids back home before it’s too late. Along their journey, Jamie helps the rest of the kids realize that their greatest superpowers are their innate humanness, childlike imagination, and ability to work together—and that you don’t have to be the smartest kid in the room to save the day.
