Kids’ Stories Book

By: Ayokunle Mathew Akinbi

Narrated by: Helen Duskin

One junk jetpack. One billion miles of ice. One chance to fly.

Twelve-year-old Kevin is a "moon-bug" a kid from the tiny, dusty moon of Pan who spends his days scavenging for scrap metal in the shadows of Saturn. While the wealthy Corporate Teams flash across the sky in their multi-million credit starships, Kevin dreams of the Saturn Ring Circuit, the most dangerous race in the galaxy. When Kevin discovers a discarded Model-7 engine in a lunar junkyard, his dream finally has a heartbeat.

Alongside his quirky, sensor-glitching robot Pix, Kevin enters a high-stakes gauntlet through 20 grueling checkpoints from the frozen geysers of Enceladus to the crushing golden mists of Titan. But the rings are a treacherous place. Between sabotaging rivals, blinding ice-crystal storms, and the deadly pull of Saturn’s gravity, Kevin must learn that winning isn't just about the speed of your engine, it’s about the strength of your spirit.

Joined by a mysterious rival named Orion, Kevin is about to show the universe that you don't need a corporate budget to be a champion. You just need the courage to surf the solar flares. The race of a lifetime is about to begin. Strap in.
