Green Tara
Fifteen-year-old Virginia Bosque will do anything, even break irrational corporate rules, to fly her cherry red two-seater, a convertible scramjet that is flight-worthy in both deep space and planetary atmospheres. But after her unauthorized test flight, she's caught and escorted to a skanky corner of lockdown. The cruel security guard recognizes her cinnamon colored skin, straight black hair, and distinctive name. She's the daughter of that famous astro-biologist. Virginia hates it when people talk about her mom in the past tense. She's "missing!" Lost in space on an exploratory mission, seeking viable planetary homes for human colonists. Homes where everyone has fresh air and free water. Confined to quarters for breaking multiple flight deck rules, Virginia and her younger cousin Gordy discover a hidden chest filled with her mother's things. The star chart of her mom's last known location is etched on the trunk. It's the legendary planet Green Tara, a wildlife preserve, teeming with birdsong and abundant water. She finds a letter from her mother, telling her she's inherited the family mission to restore viable habitats. Gordy is passionate about the legend. For seven generations their family has cultivated the preserve and planned how to regenerate flourishing homes for humankind. Virginia doesn't really believe the old, failed dream is possible. But, they have to at least try to find and rescue her mom.

About the Author

K.H. Brower, multi-media storyteller and educator, lives in Bloomington, Indiana. Her home is full of two precocious children, both more gorgeous, strong, and intelligent than she; five warm-blooded pets who shed unmanageable amounts of fur; new and old friends, as often as she can have them over; and a husband, who keeps everyone happy with his delightful whistle and joyful step. She loves to walk on the beach, grow vegetables, and ride her bicycle.
