"Beautifully illustrated, wonderfully crafted, the story leaps from the pages faster than you can turn them. Pull down the safety bar and sit tight: you're in for a ride." --Ridley Pearson, author of the Kingdom Keepers series The year is 2125 and the Magellan Science Academy has given two lucky cadets special Thulium tickets to join a team of space explorers on a time-travel mission twenty-four hours into the future. But when their mission goes wrong, the two kids must band together with a tiny flying saucer sidekick to save themselves, their crew, and all of Space Mountain--before time runs out and the galaxy is destroyed!

Sam Willmington adored the game of soccer from the moment his foot first touched the ball. With an impressive skill set that matched his unwavering adoration for the sport, he was poised to join the varsity team at his Central New York high school, despite the fact that he was only heading into the ninth grade. It was rare for a student his age to be granted this opportunity, but anyone who had seen him in action knew that he had rightfully earned his spot. Before the season was set to start, Sam’s parents delivered some devastating news. Like many small school districts, Brooksville was forced to cut costs, and the soccer team was disbanded. Sam was crushed, and it wasn’t until his best friend Kevin approached him with an outlandish idea that he began to contemplate life after soccer. Kevin played on the football team, and he thought that Sam would be the perfect person to become the field goal kicker for the struggling squad. “Everyone Hates the Kicker” is set in the world of sports, yet it will resonate with anyone who has been forced to adapt once a set of unexpected circumstances befell them. Full of humor and hope, it is the story of a young boy who not only has to navigate the perils of adolescence, but has to do so while casting aside the colossal uncertainty and apprehension that comes with trying something new.
