CJ is a ten-year-old kid living a peaceful life on Luna, Earth's moon. One moment he's enjoying his home under protective domes - the next, a missile launched from Earth misfires and tears everything apart, scattering the moon's residents across the vastness of space.
Luckily, CJ has something extraordinary: a powerful beacon that can shine across the solar system. Guided by courage, creativity, and an unshakeable belief in teamwork, he uses the beacon to lead everyone to safety on Mars.
When peace finally returns to Earth, CJ has one last, incredible idea: what if they could connect both worlds? His bold thinking turns the worst disaster into the most amazing adventure.
Max Arseneau is a young storyteller with a huge imagination and an even bigger love for space adventures. When he's not dreaming up incredible inventions and cosmic journeys, he enjoys spending his time playing hockey, soccer, softball, and video games with his friends. He also loves travelling and exploring the world with his family.
The Space Bubble is Max's first published story, and he had the best writing partner ever - his mom! Together, they worked as a team to edit the book and make sure every word was just right. Max came up with all the wild ideas, and his mom helped him polish them until they sparkled like stars.
Max hopes his story will inspire other kids to dream big, think creatively, and remember that the most impossible ideas sometimes turn out to be the most amazing ones!
Step onto the lunar surface with CJ and see a few
moments from his journey.
Many planets have moons, but Earth's moon Luna is CJ's home. CJ loves living on Luna. Fun fact: The Moon has no air, so it can get super hot during the day and freezing cold at night. Just like Earth, Luna has daytime and nighttime, but a Moon day lasts a very long time. One whole day on Luna (day and night) lasts almost one entire month on Earth!
The story comes straight from the imagination of a 9-year-old who has dreamed of living on the moon and what it would look like. All the drawings and illustrations are directed by him.
CJ faces a massive disaster and solves it by thinking creatively and working together with others. He doesn't give up.
The story shows that working together with the right people with the right ideas can lead to amazing solutions that can change everything!
Families and classrooms are loving The Space Bubble earning it a 5 star rating rating on Amazon for its fun story and educational spark.
What a great read about believing in yourself and such a great message for young kids. We really enjoyed it. Looking forward to many more books by the author.
This book is amazing! My daughter absolutely loves The Space Bubble. The story is the best and imaginative, and the illustrations are beautiful and engaging. We’ve already read it several times highly recommend for kids who love space adventures!
I ordered this book for my 6-year-old son and we had such a great time reading it together. The story is engaging and creative, with wonderful messages – very impressive from such a young author, and my son thought it was so cool that it was written by another (big) kid. Definitely recommend!
