In a future when the Earth has shut itself off from the rest of the galaxy, the most underestimated person on the planet may be the one person who can save it.
The year is 3897, and life on Earth is a neon dream, all flashing lights and buzzy noise – and no one
remembers that there used to be a night sky behind the illuminated one above them, with stars beyond. As she turns 11, neurodivergent, freckled Astrifer Nova is nothing like her sporty, high-achieving twin brother, Blaze. And on the day of her Work Path Allocation ceremony which determines the course of her life, she is crushed when she gets assigned to the sock factory.
But all is not as it seems, and as she uncovers layers of hidden truths all around her, Astrifer discovers that the world is bigger than she ever imagined – and that it’s up to her and a motley crew of new friends to challenge the status quo. Turns out, their differences may be exactly what the planet needs…
