About this listen

When Max discovers an old brass telescope, he finds more than just stars. He finds a secret—a tiny red dot that hums with a mysterious energy, a whisper from across the vast sea of space. This single discovery propels him into the adventure of a lifetime, starting with a forgotten star-chart found in his dusty attic. The chart doesn't just show stars; it shows a path to the legendary Crimson Planet.

With his inventive best friend, Maya, by his side, Max builds the Stardust Drifter—a spaceship crafted from a refrigerator box, a sled, and a whole lot of imagination. Their mission begins with a countdown in a cornfield and blasts off into a galaxy of wonders, from shimmering asteroid belts made of singing stones to comets with tails of pure crystal.

But their journey takes an urgent turn when they receive a message in a space bottle: the Crimson Planet is dying. Its light is fading, and its music is faltering. Guided by mystical Glimmer-Gnomes through upside-down forests and into the planet's glowing heart, Max and Maya must solve an ancient riddle to awaken the world's fading life force.

The Voyage to the Crimson Planet is a thrilling tale of friendship, courage, and the extraordinary power of belief. It’s a story that proves the greatest adventures are launched not by powerful engines, but by the power of a child's heart and a map to the stars.
