After much preparation, the Wright cousins are ready to embark on a once in a lifetime adventure: to ride into space on a brand new space plane. Because of the Wright family’s financial and engineering support of the aerospace company responsible for the space plane, the cousins are given this rare and special opportunity and are enthusiastic about the prospect of venturing into space. But when they find themselves outside of Earth’s atmosphere, it is not the carefree experience they expect. A series of unfortunate events reveals that the cousins are stranded without tangible support far above the Earth’s surface, so they must rely on friends and family to do all in their power from the ground to help the cousins return home safely.

This ninth in the Wright Cousins Adventures series is filled with action and adventure, especially as the cousins work desperately to survive in the unforgiving landscape of space. Unlike other stories, this one connects readers to tangential characters with more frequency and reinforces the fact that the cousins have a huge network of support and love around the world. The good deeds the cousins have done in previous adventures have made this rescue mission possible, and readers will enjoy seeing familiar faces return to the spotlight.

Similar to the previous installments, this book reads swiftly not only because of the brevity of the chapters but also due to the novel’s action-packed content. Because of the intensity and peril found in this story, it is a better fit for more mature middle grade and young adult readers, but the narrative remains wholesome in its overall delivery, and it is a good fit for family entertainment. Exciting and memorable, this addition to the Wright cousins series is truly out of this world.

I received a copy of this book from the author and I chose to leave this review.
