Basic training is over. For 11-year-old Robbi, the real work on the Laddertop station begins…even as its strange, dark secrets grow more compelling.

With the help of mentally linked robot companions, she and an elite crew of children perform the dangerous maintenance work on the Power Web. But only Robbi keeps having urgent dreams from The Givers, the alien species who bestowed upon humans all the Laddertop technology. Meanwhile, her best friend Azure goes from Laddertop reject to a recruit for a secret research mission, led by a group of rebels who don’t trust that the Givers mean no harm.

Though on different paths, the two friends’ destinies soon collide, as they decipher an alien message and solve an ancient mystery that could either save the Earth from invasion…or trigger its imminent destruction.

Great YA Novelette

Wonderful science fiction with tween protagonist. Easy for kids to follow. Fun for adults. Read parts 1&2. Looking forward to part 3.

An engaging story with great narration

The characters are well defined and have A great role. Narration is superb. Can’t wait for next parts.

Gripping story

Love the sound effects in this one. Great storytelling from the Card Family! Our family is listening to this book series.

A Fun Sci-Fi Book for Children (and adults too)

I was thrilled to see that this entire series was finally added to audible. The books are short but very enjoyable. I wish there were more books written for this universe. I am 55 and really enjoyed listening to all of them.

Kudos to the narraters. They really went for it and it sounds like they had fun.

So short

I’m used to spending money on long books, not something that is over in a couple hours. If I’d known how short these were I never would have started the series. Rather disappointing
