      Journey to the Moon - Matthew Vimislik

      Cover

      INTRODUCTION

      My name is Starr. I’m just like every other ten-year-old girl I know, with one major difference: I live in space.

      You see, my mom is a world-class astronaut, scientist, and all-around super-genius. She was chosen to be the first person to move her entire family to space. Now she’s not just my mom, she’s also in charge of the world’s most advanced space station.

      Dad is a documentary filmmaker. He’s making a movie about our family being the first family to ever live in space. It’s not like we’re actors or anything. He just films us doing our everyday stuff like eating, playing, and brushing our teeth.

      I have a thirteen-year-old brother named Apollo. He thinks he’s cooler than winter.

      Cosmo is my super-cute, five-year-old brother.

      If you ask me, he is cooler than winter. We call him Cozzie for short.

      We’re helping lead the new world of space tourism so that people can take vacations to space. I like to call them space-cations.

      The head of the entire space program is Mrs. Sosa. She’s my mom’s boss. Her granddaughter, Tia, and I work together. Tia trains kids on Earth to get them ready for space. I help them with life in space once they’re on the station.

      My best friend, Allison, thinks I’ll forget all about her now that I live in space, but just because I live in space doesn’t mean I don’t need my best friend.

      I may be a regular girl, but my life is completely out of this world!

      Chapter 1

      TOO DANGEROUS FOR GIRLS

      Waking up in space is really strange. Your body just floats like you’re on pause. I always find myself in the strangest positions. I’ve awoken upside down, sideways, and spread out like a starfish. This time my arms were floating out in front of me like I was a space zombie.

      Through the window of my sleep nook, I could make out the lights glimmering down on Earth. I figured we were orbiting somewhere over Asia.

      My phone buzzed. It was my best friend, Allison.

      I answered and said, Hey, Allison.

      Her face appeared on the screen.

      Good morning, Starr. Or is it night up there? I never know.

      We’re passing over Asia. It’s night here, but I’m just waking up.

      Why are you waking up if it’s night? she asked.

      We still follow the time in Colorado.

      So you’re over Asia and it’s nighttime there, but you’re just waking up because it’s morning in Colorado? she asked.

      Yes, I know. It’s confusing. You look really pretty, by the way, I said.

      Thanks! It’s picture day at school.

      That’s exciting! I said.

      Not as exciting as whatever you have planned, I’m sure, she replied.

      Starr, I heard my little brother, Cozzie, say from somewhere in my room.

      Yes? I answered.

      Are you awake? he asked.

      I opened the hatch suddenly and smiled at him. Of course I’m awake, silly.

      He smiled back and laughed a little. Mom said it’s time to get up. The meeting starts in ten minutes.

      Allison, I have to go, I said, turning back to my phone. Have a great time at picture day.

      I will. What are you guys doing today?

      We’re going to the Moon! Cozzie shouted.

      That’s amazing! Allison replied. I can’t wait to hear all about it. Talk to you guys soon!

      Bye! I said, as I waved and hung up.

      I changed quickly and
