Lani and the Universe

Lani Scrub has a plan: study hard and become a world-renowned scientist like her hero, Kit Galway, who wrote The Meaning of the Universe. The plan is ruined when Lani’s mum decides to ‘find herself’ by joining a nature-loving community called Passing Waters. Lani should have known things were up when they got backyard chickens. At Passing Waters, Lani fails every test thrown her way – despite coaching from nine-year-old nature kid Lentil and a chef/astronomer named Meadow. Turns out failing is hard, and what’s worse is their tree change is making her question the meaning of the universe … And when the community’s future is threatened, will Lani Scrub pitch in to save the day?
