"Libraries and young readers ... will appreciate the considerations of empowerment and proactive thinking, and the twists and turns that keep readers guessing until the end." - Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer
An everyday thirteen-year-old.
A planet-changing decision.
Will Cadet Tori Winston break the rules to stop a devastating war?
Tori Winston is typical. She doesn’t have the best grades—or the best home life—but she makes up for it in spirit.
Excited to start her first day at StarNet Academy, the young cadet bangs into another cadet, has food spilled all over her, and even fails her first inspection. Not the best start to her new school, and Tori knows it. So she buckles down for the next few weeks, but still somehow manages to blow herself up in the flight simulator.
She somehow makes it to her first field training mission to the planet Adonell on a diplomatic vessel. But even the officers aboard that ship heard about her infamous flight class. Tori pushes through it all, determined to show that she is capable.
But one mistake leads to another, and before Tori can blink, she is locked up by the Adoni Leader, who happens to be of the same age, and is accused of spying. Can Tori escape in order to save herself, and both worlds from a war that she has caused?
