Four cadets. One spaceship. A universe of secrets waiting to be found.
Abbas, Luna, Yousif, and Ali are the top graduates of the Space Explorers Academy - and their very first mission is about to send them further than any humans have gone before. When Captain Vanessa announces their assignment to the Moon, the four friends think they know what to expect. They're wrong.
A discovery in the lunar regolith hints at secrets no one predicted. A sudden dust storm on Mars strands them beside tracks that shouldn't exist. And beneath the frozen crust of Europa, something is waiting that will change everything humanity thought it knew about the universe - and force the cadets to decide what kind of explorers they want to be.
Racing between the crater fields of the Moon, the red canyons of Mars, and the glowing ice of Europa, the crew of the Stargazer will need more than training to make it home. They'll need each other.
Inside this beautifully illustrated space adventure:

• A fast-moving journey across three worlds, packed with landing sequences, dust storms, and first-contact mysteries
• A story about friendship and trust, as four very different cadets learn to lean on each other's strengths
• Rich, full-color illustrations on every spread, bringing the Academy, the Stargazer, and three alien worlds to life
• Five action-packed chapters, perfect for reading in one sitting or spreading across five nights

Galactic Cadets: Adventures Beyond the Stars is a launchpad for young readers who dream of the stars - a reminder that the biggest discoveries out there start with the courage to explore, and the wisdom to explore gently.
