Stowaway （by John David Anderson)

Description

深受喜愛的《Posted》和《Bixby老師的最後一天》的作者帶著一本關於成長科幻系列的第一部書回歸，講述了一個名叫利奧的孩子試圖穿越銀河系以拯救他的家人——可能還有地球。

The beloved author of Posted and Ms. Bixby’s Last Day returns with the first book in a coming-of-age sci-fi duology about Leo, a kid trying to navigate the galaxy in order to save his family—and, possibly, the planet Earth.

When scientists discover a rare and mysterious mineral buried in the Earth’s crust, they have no idea that it just happens to be the most valuable substance in the entire universe. It’s not long before aliens show up to our little corner of the galaxy offering a promise of protection, some fabulous new technology, and entry into their intergalactic coalition—all in exchange for this precious resource. A material so precious that other alien forces are willing to start a war over it. A war that soon makes its way to Earth.
