For some kids, space camp is a dream come true. For others, not so much. It's a new season for Camp Launchpad, but with money dwindling and the rival camp Star-X threatening to buy them out, this could be the last season of Launchpad. Val, Pete, and Mark, an unlikely trio, are thrust together as podmates, initially worlds apart but destined to unite. As their friendship blossoms, so does the camp's promise. In this charming and nerdy graphic novel, Gomez's art skillfully captures the essence of Launchpad, filling the pages with scenes of the gritty, repurposed gear the campers use. Smith and Tanner, creators of Junior Braves Apocalypse, offer a thrilling summer-camp story that explores resilience and teamwork in a fun setting. Will the absolute zeros triumph in the Space Race competition against their rivals and rescue Camp Launchpad? Can they overcome their differences to work as a team? A strong choice for space enthusiasts or those who liked Jeffrey Brown's Once upon a Space-Time! (2020) or the Lumberjanes series.

Reach for the stars in this exciting graphic novel about three ambitious, space-loving kids who must put their differences aside to save their summer camp before it closes...for good.

Welcome to Camp Launchpad!

Summer is in full swing, which means a new class of kids has arrived to attend the best space camp in Florida...or at least, it used to be. With growing competition from the trendy rival camp next door, Camp Launchpad needs all the help it can get to keep its doors open.

Campers Val, Mark, and Pete are here for very different reasons: following in the footsteps of an astronaut mom, living up to expectations as a vice president’s son, or getting a once-in-a-lifetime scholarship. But they all have one huge thing in common: Their future in the stars launches from here...if there’s still a camp to launch from.

When the hotshot owner of the rival space camp makes a ten-million-dollar bet that could turn Camp Launchpad around, this unlikely trio must band together to pull off a miracle. If they don’t, this could be Camp Launchpad’s last summer ever!
