On the Moon they narrowly escape a hideous monster as a crater explodes and, on Mars, they need to outrun Martian creatures or risk becoming their dinner. Hoping to find a friendlier planet they decide to try Jupiter. Then, Clank, Clank, CLANK something is attacking the spaceship! Bracken, horrified, realizes they are caught in an asteroid belt. They will need to return to Earth! As Bracken struggles to keep the spaceship on course, Gram realizes she will need to make the landing. Will she be able to keep her fear under control!
