As Abby gets used to life in space, can she keep the things that are most important to her from drifting away? It's the first day of third grade, and Abby Baxter is determined not to make any mistakes. It's a little trickier than it was last year, though, because Abby is starting school on the OASIS International Space Station, where her parents are scientists. Abby is so focused on getting used to microgravity, watching her little brother, Nico, and meeting her new classmates that she almost messes up Mami's big experiment. Can she figure out how to make things right, or is she destined to be sent back to Earth?

Is Abby too far ahead to see that she's left her friends behind? It's time for the first ever OASIS Space Race, a virtual reality obstacle course designed to make space's required exercise fun. Abby and her classmate Dmitry both want to win for their age group, so much so that they don't pay attention to the rules and accidentally get stuck in the simulation, glitching their friend Gracie's designs. If they want to find a way out, they're going to have to work together.

Welcome to Camp Launchpad! Summer is in full swing, which means a new class of kids has arrived to attend the best space camp in Florida...or at least, it used to be. With growing competition from the trendy rival camp next door, Camp Launchpad needs all the help it can get to keep its doors open. Campers Val, Mark, and Pete are here for very different reasons: following in the footsteps of an astronaut mom, living up to expectations as a vice president's son, or getting a once-in-a-lifetime scholarship. But they all have one huge thing in common: Their future in the stars launches from here...if there's still a camp to launch from. When the hotshot owner of the rival space camp makes a ten-million-dollar bet that could turn Camp Launchpad around, this unlikely trio must band together to pull off a miracle. If they don't, this could be Camp Launchpad's last summer ever!

In Book Three of the Acadia Files series, Acadia Greene carries her search for answers into winter. A melting snowman leads her to explore climate change and how to reduce her carbon footprint. The helium balloons at her eleventh birthday party beg questions of molecular structure, weights of gases, and neutral buoyancy. An afternoon making paper airplanes brings discoveries in aerodynamics. Tracks in the snow raise questions of how animals survive winter. And an afternoon of sledding slides into an investigation of momentum, acceleration, and friction. Acadia doesn?t mean to do science?it just happens. She?s curious, determined, bold, and bright?a wonderful STEAM ambassador!

Eight-year-old Ada Lace is determined to win the robot-building competition but is struggling with her art class so she soon wonders if there might be a way to use both science and art to solve her problems.
