Starstuff by Ira Heinichen

Abandoned and deprived of his legacy, one boy must cross the galaxy to save the father he never knew…

Petrick longs for a life outside his backwater orphanage, where even talking with his friends about the science that spurred space travel and colonization is forbidden. When Petrick sleeps at night and dreams, he envisions lessons from the most famous scientist of the fringe worlds: his father.

On one fateful night, the lessons turn into cries for help, and it’s up to Petrick, his dog, and his friends to escape and find his father. But the worlds beyond their home planet are more treacherous than they ever could have imagined. The success of his quest may lie in discovering that blood isn’t the only thing that determines your family…

If you like imaginative new worlds, plucky heroes, and adventures of galactic proportions, then you’ll love Ira Heinichen’s action-packed tale.
