The Corbulon Chronicles: The Legend of the Spacejumper
All Miya wants is to go home – to her city in the trees near to the lush waterfall.
Miya Crawler is no ordinary Alphamionian girl. Seven years ago, she was found hidden in a ship sent from a faraway planet. As an orphaned outsider Miya does not fit in and keeps getting into trouble. Her unwilling foster parents wait for the day when she is old enough to be sent away to work deep inside dark and dangerous mines.
While all of Alpha Mion begin the big interplanetary celebration to honour a rare solar eclipse, Miya is put under house arrest and locked into her room with her pet sabre-tooth tiger cub. When her home accidentally catches fire, and she is about to lose all hope with no escape from the flames, something inexplicable happens, and she finds herself outside in safety.
Suddenly the legends about the ancient gods, the Corbulons, and their forgotten special powers become very real to Miya. And soon, she realises that her newfound ability has made her the greatest threat to the galaxy’s ruthless ruling dynasty. To survive and find the truth about her past, Miya has to lead her friends on a space adventure beyond her wildest imagination.
