Galactic Green Thumbs
(2026)(The ninth book in the No Stress Space Express series)
A novel by Jack Bodett
Book learnin' meets wrench turnin'...
Howdy, neighbor. Rusty here. After that ice-moon job, my crew needs some R&R, and our ship needs some TLC. Mike and I are all set to install those new-to-us junkyard parts, and Piper and Jenna are itchin' to spruce up the crew quarters. But our biggest project ain't got nothin' to do with sprockets and slipcovers.
We got roped into helping Dahlia the plant-girl and Noki the pixie with a school assignment about the most exotic planets they could think of: Earth and Mars. Never thought I'd spend an afternoon explaining to a couple teenage aliens how "bless your heart" can be sincere or insulting, depending on how ya say it.
But we ain't the types to sit still for too long, so while we're dishing dirt, we'll also be sowing seeds. We got a whole mess of 'em from the Sol System that still need to get in the ground. Good thing Dahlia's dad is a gardening guru. Guess you learn a few things when your family tree is an actual tree.
We're gonna have a grand ol' time digging up memories and harvesting friendships. 'Cause it turns out a great garden ain't about what you plant, it's about who you plant it with.
No Stress Space Express is a series about finding your true family, told with the common-sense wisdom of Jerry Boyd's Bob and Nikki series (Bob's Saucer Repair), and the low-stakes world building of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes. Join Rusty and his crew for a heart-warming, laugh-out-loud adventure with no tension, and no drama. Just good clean fun, great friendships, and a little romance too.
Genre: GameLit
