With the help of the fine folks at GOODREADS, we’re giving away Nicole Kornher-Stace’s thrilling middle-grade sci-fi novel JILLIAN VS PARASITE PLANET.
Look out Heinlein, here comes Nicole Kornher-Stace! In her middle grade novel, Jillian vs Parasite Planet, she not only does a Heinlein space explorer, but her young female hero, with hands full of science and parasites, manages to grow up as well. Huzzah! Great space fun with a lot of ick thrown in as well.
―Jane Yolen, author of Owl Moon
Eleven-year-old Jillian hates surprises. Even fun ones make her feel all panicky inside. But, she’s always dreamed of joining her space-explorer parents on a mission. It’s Take Your Kid to Work Day, and Jillian finally has her chance to visit an alien world!
The journey to Planet 80 UMa c is supposed to be just a fun camping trip. But then the local wildlife starts acting really dangerous. Only the onboard computer SABRINA sorta knows what’s happening—at least when it’s not goofing off or telling bad jokes.
Looks like it’s Jillian vs Parasite Planet—and Jillian is determined to win!
Fantastic worldbuilding, a hero you can’t help but root for, and the best sidekick this side of the galaxy.
—Katie Slivensky, author of The Countdown Conspiracy
