Now, the orphan is on her way, joining the family of her motherâs best friend on the research station Einsteinâbut she wonât be going alone. Barbary canât bear to leave behind her only friend, a Manx tabby cat named Mickey. Getting used to zero gravity is just one challenge the pair will face on their journey; when they finally land on Einstein, Barbary will have to trust her new sister with her secret stowaway. But Mickeyâs mischievous nature may get Barbary kicked off of her new home for goodâand put all of humanity at risk as an alien ship flies their way . . . âExcitement about space, living on a frontier, and . . . down-to-earth mechanical details . . . McIntyre displays the talent that won her acclaim.â âPublishers Weekly âEngrossing. A lot of physics and engineering are woven unobtrusively into the book. Good for buffs and newcomers.â âKirkus Reviews
