The Gizmo Girl of Galaxy Three

Thirteen-year-old Nova Vega can fix anything—whether it's a busted hyper-drive or a sputtering scout engine. Known across Waystation 9 as the "Gizmo Girl," she spends her days tinkering with alien salvage and upgrading her custom Omni-Sleeve gauntlet. But her life of peaceful scrap-collecting is upended when a hunted cargo ship arrives, carrying the Eternal Core—a legendary, self-sustaining sphere of unlimited quantum energy. When the ruthless cyborg warlord Captain Vane and his army of iron droids track the artifact to the station, Nova and her four-armed alien best friend, Arlo, are forced to flee into the treacherous, debris-choked depths of the Junkyard Nebula. Guided by the Core's mysterious signals, they discover the legendary, long-dormant Star-Forge of Galaxy Three. To keep the universe's greatest power out of Vane's destructive hands and restore light to suffering colony worlds, Nova must rely on her quick wits, a mountain of space junk, and some serious jury-rigged engineering. Packed with high-stakes space action, inventive gadgets, and unforgettable characters, this thrilling sci-fi adventure is a celebration of what young minds can achieve.
