  On the distant planet of Anilar, fourteen-year old JoJo has only ever dreamed of one thing, to become a SpaceCoyote and fly across the galaxy in search of her Grandfather who mysteriously disappeared forty years ago. When her dreams of joining the elite SpaceCoyote Academy are ruined by a sinister plot against her, she is drawn into a dark secret kept hidden from her family for forty years. Determined to uncover the truth and following the only clue she has, JoJo sets out with her reluctant younger brother, 2B on a perilous journey to the other side of the galaxy. Her destination, a planet so dangerous that no one on Anilar dare even speak its name. So begins a spine tingling adventure that sees JoJo battle not only her own fears and prejudices, but an unknown and unseen enemy willing to do anything to stop her uncovering the secret of the Blue Planet. Meanwhile on earth, in the heart of Apple Valley, teenager Jimmy Green has his own problems.
