Publisher's Summary

Jeff Hirsch, the mastermind behind such dark YA dystopias as The Eleventh Plague and The Darkest Hour, goes interstellar with Sovereign, a middle grade Audible Original voiced by Jesse Einstein, who listeners have called first-rate.

Micah Cole has been in deep space for four years now. While his parents chase their obsession with finding intelligent life deeper and deeper into the universe, Micah can’t help but dream of the friends he’s left behind and counts the days until the family returns to Earth. When a devastating meteor shower nearly destroys the Coles’s ship, Micah is separated from his family and stranded alone on Sovereign—a vast planet of raging rivers and towering forests. If Micah ever wants to see his family or his home again, he’ll have to learn how to survive on this hostile alien world. Armed with only his wits and determination, he’ll have to battle the elements, his own deepest fears, and a strange presence that might just hold the key to his parents’ obsession—and be his ticket back home.

quite a thriller

I enjoyed it but I think this is a teenage book, not a younger children's story. plenty of excitement and scary moment, it is also very well read.
good job.

Clever and interesting

My son liked this story, he’s eight but this book could cater for ages up to 14. Strong story line of independence and survival, excitement and adventure and emotions built in. It’s a sci-fi setting but lots of nature scenes, clever and interesting ending. Four stars
