Overview

At fifteen, Maxine is an orphan, having lost her entire family in a tragic accident en route to her new home: the planet Oxylus. In the aftermath, she retreats into the fantasy world of Selena Simon and The Planets Unknown-an interplanetary pop culture sensation that follows the adventures of an eleven-year-old girl and a talking badger aboard a rickety spaceship. By the time Maxine's own ship reaches Oxylus, she has resigned herself to being an outsider in a small, isolated colony with no real connection to anything else. But when the colony encounters a planetary intelligence capable of defending itself by manipulating their deepest fears and desires-including, in Maxine's case, her yearning to be anywhere else-it is precisely Maxine's resilience, tempered by tragedy and grief, that make her the ideal bridge between the alien consciousness and the very people she feels most estranged from.
