The Astronites (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798891384996)

Seventeen-year-old Natalie Hope thought her days of playing superheroes were over. But when she and her old friends are suddenly thrust into the Astronic universe--a place where all of their imaginary adventures actually happened--everything changes.

Natalie, Adam, and Barbara discover that their friend, Jake, has gone missing in the cosmos. With the help of a talking dog, a fleetjet called Star, and a mysterious tool that can wield the powerful Principles of time, the Astronites embark on a daring mission to rescue Jake.

Danger lurks at every turn, especially for Natalie. She doesn't enter the Astronic universe with her imaginative powers like Adam and Barbara. Worse yet, she becomes the target of the sinister Zsar Endgon, an evil warlord she once defeated as a child who has since built a terrifying superweapon to exact his revenge. As Natalie grapples with her powerlessness, she unwittingly awakens an ancient prophecy that could alter the fabric of existence itself and lead to clues about her long-lost father.

Faced with monsters the size of moons, government conspiracies, and heart-wrenching betrayals, Natalie and her friends confront the fine line between childhood fantasy and harsh reality. In a war that spans time and space, they'll question everything they thought they knew about themselves, meet their darkest fears, and learn what it really means to be a hero.
