Here is spiritual sci-fi for teens-a witty, fast-paced novel that explores the inner realms as well as the outer ones. Fed up with life at home, Jessica Baron is selected for a trip to the moon (I wasn't at all sure my mother would let me go, but I filled in the forms anyway) The spaceship strangely misses its destination and hurtles onward into deep space for a mysterious voyage that transcends culture, time, and the mind itself. Here is spiritual sci-fi at its best-a witty, fast-paced novel that explores the inner realms as well as the outer ones.
