Ebony-Grace has been sent to stay with her dad over the summer while things settle down with her grandfather. She is not happy about it at all especially as it interferes with the imaginary world she and her grandfather have created. Her grandfather works for NASA and has instilled in Ebony a love of Star Trek (Uhura especially) and other science fiction. The problem is, her imagination can make her seem weird to others so it's hard for her to make friends. Can she save the world and get back to her grandfather?
The theme of growing up - especially growing up at different rates - was strong in this. I loved the setting of Harlem in the mid 80s. I had a hard time with the grandfather subplot because it was never fully explained what happened to him. I felt the ending was really abrupt as well.
