Description
Back to the Future meets Stranger Things in this middle-grade multiverse odyssey!
With Earth's destruction a mere 30 days away, the fate of humankind rests in the hands of a group of trumpet-wielding band geeks
During a school field trip to NASA headquarters, five middle school band geeks-Dev, Austin, Tessa, Isaiah, and Meryl-are accidently sent to an alternate universe when a project-in-progress goes haywire. The five Space Cadets find themselves in the hands of the Inter Galactic Planning Committee, who inform them that their own universe's destruction is imminent. Against all odds they must find a way to rescue their families-and all of humankind.
