Description
Ten-year-old Leo and his eight-year-old sister, Pipa, know only one home: the steady, humming corridors of the Stardust Cruiser. But when their ship is violently pulled from the stars and crash-lands on a mysterious world, their life of quiet safety is shattered.
They find themselves on Planet VORTEX, a bizarre land of dizzying rainbow dust, six-legged creatures, and plants that spiral into the sky. It’s a world alive with chaotic energy, from fields of dancing tornadoes to rivers that flow uphill. Guided by a map found in a warm meteorite and a rusty, clanking mechanic named Fidget, the children must navigate the planet’s beautiful but treacherous landscapes.
Their journey to escape leads them toward the Great Gyre, the heart of the planet’s power, where the mysterious and formidable Cyclone King rules all. He doesn’t like visitors, and he controls every gust of wind and every swirling storm. To get home, Leo and Pipa must do more than just rebuild their ship—they must solve the riddle of the planet itself, a puzzle of harmony and chaos. Can they learn the secrets of this wild world and confront the king made of wind, or will they become just another piece of wreckage in the celestial graveyard of Planet VORTEX?
