About The Book
A new sci-fi adventure full-color illustrated series in which a group of children are selected for a mission to save the mankind! Their astonishing journey brings them to the outer reaches of our solar system.
Overpopulation has caused earth’s natural resources to diminish, and people are struggling to survive. Thirteen-year-old Ari is looking after his little brother Joni, who has fallen ill with a mysterious virus. The boys manage to get hold of a copy of Kepler62, the newest computer game that everyone’s talking about and which is supposed to be almost impossible to complete. Working together, the brothers manage the impossible and they soon discover that Kepler62 is more than just a game. It’s an invitation – for an adventure.
