A little preview
On a bright Saturday morning, Alex found a silver envelope beneath the breakfast bowl. Inside was a star-shaped badge and a message: MOONLIGHT STATION NEEDS A CAREFUL CAPTAIN. At that moment, a round teal spaceship descended into the garden as gently as a soap bubble. Its door opened, and a cream-colored robot floated out. “I’m Beep,” it said. “We must deliver a new light to the Moon before tonight.” Alex fastened the badge and climbed aboard.
