Summary: "Space travel is the best, but making space for friends is better. An imaginative only child named Avni enjoys the perks of being the only astronaut in her space station (a. k. a. home). She can take off whenever she wants, commands a whole rocket ship by herself, and never has to wait her turn. But when space exploration becomes too much work for a solo astronaut, she goes on a mission in her neighborhood to find a capable assistant ... with unexpected results. The Only Astronaut celebrates the power of imagination, perseverance, and collaboration without compromising one's goals."--
