Life in the Crab Nebula

The passengers of the Slightly Confident were never meant to be heroes. They were teachers, cooks, grandparents, and one man who packed seventeen jars of peanut butter -- because "the universe is large and sandwiches are small."

When a mysterious signal calls them across the stars to the Crab Nebula, Captain Celeste Nova and her wonderfully unqualified crew leave a beautiful, troubled Earth behind in search of a new home. What they find is Maybe Paradise: a planet of glowing moss, singing mountains, lantern bugs, and a Great Hall that remembers everything.

Building a settlement out of nothing, this ragtag family of dreamers and worriers discovers that home isn't a place you land -- it's something you build together, argument by argument, stew pot by stew pot.

But when Earth's memory tree finally bears fruit, it reveals more than beautiful visions. It reveals a warning. Someone else followed the signal. And they're not coming to learn.

Bursting with humor, heart, and just the right amount of cosmic wonder, Life in the Crab Nebula is a joyful, page-turning adventure about courage, found family, and what it really means to belong -- perfect for young readers who love big imaginations and bigger laughs.

Book 1 in a trilogy. The adventure continues in The Library of Remembered Worlds.
