Liam, a 12-year-old who looks like an adult due to his unusual height, pretends to be a father to win a trip to the world's biggest thrill ride, which turns out to be a real spaceship.

Stranded in space 239,000 miles from home with four other children, Liam draws on his World of Warcraft knowledge and his dad's parenting book to act as their responsible chaperone.

The story explores themes of growing up, identity, family, and the blurred lines between childhood and adulthood amid out-of-this-world mishaps.
