From the Seiun Award-winning author of Userper of the Sun

When the Rocket Girls accidentally splash down in the pond of Yukari Morita's old school, it looks as though their experiment is ruined. Luckily, the geeky Akane is there to save the day. Fitting the profile--she's intelligent, enthusiastic, and petite--Akane is soon recruited by the Solomon Space Association. Yukari and Akane are then given the biggest Rocket Girl mission yet: to do what NASA astronauts cannot and save a probe headed to the minor planet Pluto and the very edge of the solar system.

Rocket Girls Book 2

By EdM. on April 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

This sequel to the story of the rocket girls is great for a sci fiction quick read. The new character of Akane adds to the story another viewpoint. The first third of the story is very improbable in believability but the author manages to take advantage of the new character and the second third of the book is better as the characters start to be realized. The last third of the story moves like the space films like Apollo 13 and makes the reader wish the story was a little longer. The mission to save the Pluto exploring probe is good reading and hope that the author decides to write a third book.
