The ship is stranded far further from home than they should be, everything is broken, and none of the children have enough training to sort it out. The action kicks off when Beth, a thirteen year old girl who has joined a space colony mission with her parents, is the one of the six children left awake after a catastrophic “Event” has left all the adults in permanent stasis.

I don’t see a lot of middle grade science fiction – certainly not space-based! – so I was really intrigued when Orion Lost showed up unannounced on my doorstep… It’s a really enjoyable rollick of a spaceship adventure!
