Overview

Aleph Worf-Sapir, nearly fifteen and uninterested in school, has been offered the chance of a lifetime: an opportunity to study on the different moons of the Lunar University! After decades of infighting, the other Departments have opened their doors. Aleph's job is to attend each school for a month, learning as much as he can and reporting back to the Glottal Moon. Sounds easy, right? But so far, Aleph's journey has been fraught with complications. He's been imprisoned, romanced, kidnapped, attacked by giant snakes, lectured, and assigned as a juror on his mother's murder trial. Worst of all, he's pretty sure he killed Olive Gilbreth, leader of the College of the Gear. But it couldn't have been his fault. Aleph's a good person. Right? Huey Gilbreth, a kid with a mouth as big as her brain, is convinced that she's meant to take the seat of power her late mother left behind. Aleph's jury duty is approaching fast. Mysteries from the Prismatic Moon are catching up to him. Unanswered questions are piling up. Something's got to give, and soon.

Author Information

Alexandra Penn was a museum kid. The daughter of a photographer and a Scuba diver, she spent her teenage years in the field: Penn has worked with Smithsonian archaeologists, NASA software engineers, volcanologists, and photographers. She also managed to fail Algebra II with a passing grade, which she's a little proud of. Her work is both a love letter to and an intense criticism of the academic world. She has been bitten by a shark, she watched the final shuttle launch from the fire escape outside Launch Control, and she has been a certified diver since age twelve. She likes dogs, long walks on the beach, and socialized medicine. Also books. Penn is one of two Directors of The Writers' Rooms, an editor for hire, an amateur linguist, and a Taurus. Her work has received many accolades, including an Honorable Mention in the Writer's Digest Annual Contest 2017. She spends all her free time on Twitter.
