Aster Wood is dreading the summer before he starts seventh grade. Aster's Earth is broken. First the world suffered a terrible drought. Now that the drought is over, you can't go out in the rain because it's poison. Aster himself is broken. He has a hole in his heart that surgery couldn't fix. Aster's Mom is dumping him way out in the country at his grandma's for the summer. What Aster doesn't realize is that Earth is not the only planet with humans, and the other planets aren't all broken. The attic is the key, if Aster can just find the map.
This book is definitely targeted at young teens, but it's still a good story and interesting to follow. It would be a good bedtime read for kids who like adventure. Just don't finish for the night with some of the more exciting parts. Highly recommended.
