Jordie is awed by asteroids, perplexed by planets, and mesmerized by moons. She can't believe her luck when she finds a black hole taking up residence in her desk at school. Of course she's keeping it. But when the black hole starts snarfing everything in sight — including Neptune the dog — she realizes that black holes need wide open spaces, galaxies to graze, and stars to slurp. So she sets things right. Just not before she embarking on a wild, time- and space-bending mission to save her pup!
This creative and hilarious picture book about a space-crazy Mighty Girl is full of laugh-out-loud puns and expressive artwork depicting the conflict between the starving black hole and the determined Mighty Girl! As her parents, classmates, and teacher remain oblivious to the growing battle, Jordie decides to risk spaghettification — feeling like her body is being stretched out like a noodle! — to rescue her beloved pet. For any child who casts a wondering eye towards the stars, this book is sure to be a hit.
