Meet the Curiosity Crew: Zane, a 12-year-old science whiz who dreams about double helixes; his friend, Aaron, a complaining but witty companion who’s convinced aliens are real; Professor Genus, a genius (with a loose grip on sanity) obsessed with unraveling life’s biggest mysteries; and Eon Pixel, a mischievous alien with a penchant for semi-controlled chaos.
When Eon Pixel crash-lands on Earth, he brings more than attitude—he’s got a meteorite fragment packed with ancient DNA that might just prove life on Earth started out of this world. But when Zane deciphers a mysterious mathematical code hidden in the DNA, the crew stumbles upon something even more mind-blowing: a galactic treasure map written in life’s universal language.
Armed with Professor Genus’s Molecular Magnifier (which is as wildly impractical as it sounds), the crew dives into the microscopic universe of DNA, uncovering its secrets while dodging sentient protein strands and spiraling through helix highways. As their journey takes them from Earth’s labs to cosmic observatories, they crack the code of panspermia, decode an alien star map, and launch a DIY space probe (powered by duct tape and optimism).
Will the Curiosity Crew discover the origins of life? Can Zane keep Leo and Eon Pixel from accidentally blowing up the lab? And why does DNA have such a thing for math? Find out in Galaxy’s Kids—a laugh-out-loud, brain-busting adventure that proves science is as thrilling as space travel (and just as messy).
