Bookroo's summary

Danny's accidental invention of anti-gravity paint leads to an unexpected space adventure. When a premature launch strands Danny, Joe, Professor Bulfinch, and Dr. Grimes on a spaceship hurtling out of the Solar System, they must race against time to fix a critical mechanical failure. Will they find a way back home, or are they destined for the stars? Discover the thrilling journey of innovation, teamwork, and survival in the vast unknown.

From the publisher

Through a mishap in Professor Bulfinch’s laboratory, Danny accidentally creates an anti-gravity paint. The natural use, of course, is for a spaceship – the paint can replace rockets to get the ship into space. Unfortunately, the spaceship is launched prematurely after Danny and Joe follow Professor Bulfinch and Dr. Grimes on a tour of the ship. A mechanical failure dooms the four to a one-way trip out of the Solar System – unless they can repair the spaceship in time!
