“The book is like Star Wars plus drug dealers plus rock stars all joined into one book. If you like to read about that stuff then you will love this book…This is a cool book so check it out!" — A young reader's book report

Shortlisted for Manitoba Young Readers' Choice Award

An Our Choice selection of the Canadian Children's Book Centre

After a lifetime of sleeping in alleys and flop houses, Kit’s musical talent is discovered, and he is remade into Andy Nebula.

Well-fed, content with a warm bed and contract, Andy begins to wonder why every previous “Sensation Single” star was a flash-in-the-pan. Little does he know that the answer lies with the off-world Hydras and their taste for music and flash, a drug forbidden to humans. And that he is their next fix.

Originally published as Andy Nebula: Interstellar Rock Star, this exciting outer-space teen adventure has been completely revised by the author for this new edition!

Praise for Andy Nebula: Interstellar Rock Star (Book One):

“The action in Andy Nebula moves along at a cracking pace and the characters are well-drawn…Andy Nebula is fast and furious enough to keep even reluctant readers turning the pages, and young teen fans of fantasy and science fiction will not be disappointed.” — John Wilson, Quill & Quire

“… gritty and clever…Willett tells a fast-moving tale that has plenty of color. He wastes few words and presents some good characterizations…All in all, a worthy addition to a young reader’s shelf of SF books.” — A. L. Sirois, SF Site

“It’s the combination of the familiar with the speculative that lifts Andy Nebula above the crowd…From page one we know we are in another time and place thanks to Willett’s deft and never-faltering use of a convincing invented slang…. Get one copy for yourself, and another for a young person.” — Donna Farley, NCF Guide to Canadian Science Fiction and Fandom

“Willett writes in a humorous and flamboyant style not unlike an old-style detective novel…The novel is fast and exciting with lots of action. It also involves broader themes like differentiating between the authentic and the contrived, values and measuring success, drug addiction and tolerance between species…The writing is trim and humorous but far from vacuous. This book is fun to read. Kids will like it, too.” — Jocelyn Caton, The Regina Sun
