The Mission in Space

What if your biggest dream took you all the way to Pluto?

Sisters Leyla and Gabriella have always dreamed of becoming astronauts. When a space organisation announces it is selecting two people for a real mission, the girls — and their loyal dog Snowy — train hard and dare to apply. Against the odds, all three are chosen.

From Mercury's rocky grey surface to Venus's scorching skies, from the famous storm swirling on Jupiter to the red snowfields of Pluto's heart-shaped plains, The Mission in Space takes young readers on a tour of every planet in our solar system. Along the way, Leyla and Gabriella share real facts about each world — its moons, its winds, its rings, its size — making every stop as educational as it is exciting.

Perfect for children aged 5–10 who love space, science, and big adventures.

• Visit all 8 planets + dwarf planet Pluto

• Real astronomy facts woven naturally into the story

• A dog astronaut who steals every scene

• A story about courage, curiosity, and sisters who believe in each other

The Mission in Space was written by Nina Omazic at the age of 8, through her school's book-writing club — proof that you are never too young to have something worth saying. Illustrated by her older sister Lara.

A Swiss-published children's book. The first in Nina's series of adventures.
