Synopsis

15-year-old Savanna Gilson, a quick-tempered loner, prickles at any threat, real or imagined, and fears she may never escape the pull of Earth’s gravity or, let’s face it, most people.

The Parallax competition gives her a shot at her dream—the Junior Astronaut Program—but it means she’s five hours away from her most important connection, her grandfather. Because of his dementia, he could be lost to her forever by the time she returns.

Before she leaves, Gramp spills a secret. Or is it his dementia? Armed with her great-grandmother's diary, Savanna's on a mission to uncover the truth, Parallax or no Parallax, before Gramp's fading memory shatters their bond.

In this ultra-near-future story, interwoven with excerpts from the WWII diary, Savanna must risk new friendships and learning to trust. Without that, her dream could slip away, leaving her alienated, stuck alone on Planet Earth.

Escape velocity: the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from gravitational influence
Parallax: the effect where the position of an object appears to differ when viewed from different angles
