Synopsis

A cardboard rocket, a cosmic tyrant, and a revolution that’s about to . . . spring into action!

Siblings Sally and Alex, along with their fearless dog Laika, never intended for their rocket to leave the ground. But when they fueled their cardboard ship with shimmering meteorite dust, "playing pretend" became a sudden countdown. A flash of red sparkles hurled the trio across the stars in a vessel held together by little more than tape and hope.

After a rough landing on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, they discover a hidden subterranean world where the locals are forced to produce a "bouncy planetary shield" for a cosmic tyrant. To save the Solar System and find a way home, they must join forces with a resourceful local named Moxi, needing courage, gravity-defying gadgets, and the ultimate power of teamwork to spark a spring-loaded revolution.

About the Authors

Andre Hycenko is an award-winning creative director who spends his days building visual worlds and his nights bringing them to life through a cast of a thousand voices. Whether he's narrating epic space battles or practicing his "Titanian" accent for their next big adventure, his favorite audience is his young son, Ryan.Springtime on Titan began as a bedtime story dreamed up by Ryan and grew into a full-scale galactic adventure. This family crew proves that the best stories aren't just written, they are imagined, performed, and shared . . . one bedtime at a time.

A simple yet glorious sketch of Superman, drawn by his father, first inspired a young Scott to pick up a pencil. Fueled by a steady diet of Mad Magazine, newspaper comic strips, sci-fi and monster films, and Chuck Jones animation, his childhood passion for drawing quickly blossomed into a deep love for storytelling.Scott's work spans children's book illustration, television, board games, and comics. His clients include Scholastic, Image Comics, Disney Worldwide, Capstone, Viking, Dynamite Publishing and Nickelodeon.Originally from the seaport of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Scott now resides on Florida's left coast with his wife, two daughters, and a rather diabolical pug named Duncan.
