Join author Jon Scieszka and illustrator Steven Weinberg as they present the latest book in the AstroNuts series—from space! In The Water Planet, AstroNuts AstroWolf, LaserShark, SmartHawk, and StinkBug are more determined than ever to find a perfect “Goldilocks planet” for humans to live on. Could Water Planet be the answer—or do dangers lurk beneath its tranquil surface? Scieszka and Weinberg talk through the book’s twists and turns, shed light on their creative process, and show off their snazzy “NNASA” jackets.
