Bookroo's summary

Priscilla Cobb's dream of a Moon research trip turns into a luxury getaway for the elite. When a dreaded guest appears, Priscilla must decide if she can reclaim her scientific mission. Will she let the rich dictate her journey, or will she fight back for her passion? In a world where space meets middle school drama, Priscilla faces unexpected challenges and must navigate frenemies in the vastness of space. Can she turn this cosmic detour into a triumph for science?

From the publisher

Even in outer space there are frenemies. Priscilla Cobb has spent her whole life dreaming of space. The underground scientific labs on the Moon are the stuff of legend. So when an international student research voyage to the Moon is announced, Priscilla trains day in and day out. But as Priscilla discovers, research will not be the priority of the trip. In fact, the whole trip starts to feel like a vacation for the ultrarich and famous. And when a surprise secret guest is revealed (someone Priscilla hoped to never cross paths with again), she decides enough is enough. It’s time for science to fight back. Combining classic middle school growing pains with a near-future space setting, The Star of Moon Village is a smart and empathetic read perfect for fans of Stacy McAnulty’s The Miscalculations of Lightning, Jennifer L. Holm’s The Lion of Mars, and Jasmine Warga’s A Rover’s Story. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
