In the tradition of
Michael Vey and The Unwanteds, Jasper and his friends continue their
education as Bounder — and get into more trouble — in this second book in a
brand-new series, which S.J. Kincaid called “a joyful space adventure!”
After
a shocking secret was exposed during his first tour with EarthBound
Academy, when he and his friends learned that Earth Force needed their
help in a secret intergalactic war, Jasper is just about ready to get
back into space and learn more about being an aeronaut, and a Bounder.
This
time, Earth Force has brought them to the remote planet of Gulaga,
where the cadets learn that they will be participating in the Tundra
Trials: a special, team-based scavenger hunt that will have Jasper and
his friends journeying across Gulaga’s frigid landscape to find enough
cache boxes to win the competition.
But the Trials are the last
thing on Jasper’s mind when he and Mira are chosen to take part in the
next step of Earth Force’s plans, fusing with a new tech that will take
their Bounder abilities to the next level. The worst part? Jasper is
expected to keep the truth from his new friends.
When an Earth
Force plan goes wrong, and suddenly they are under attack, Jasper, Mira,
and the others are asked once again to do what they can to assist Earth
Force in their goals. But with the events from the last tour fresh on
his mind, and the new information he’s learned, Jasper doesn’t know that
helping Earth Force is the best idea…or what will happen if he doesn’t.
