It began as a field trip and quickly turned into the adventure of a lifetime.

Going to the space station for a field trip was a dream come true for Miss Finch's eight graders. Filled with energy and excitement, there was no way they could have imagined what was meant to be a day trip could turn into so much more. For Abbie and her friends, the space station was just the beginning.

Whisked into space and cast onto an alien planet, they are given an ultimatum. The only way for them to go home again was by winning the galaxy football competition. Left with no choice and possibility of escape, the girls must fight their way through the competition.

The odds of victory are slim, but the prospect of going home drives them. Will they raise the trophy at the end of the last match or are they doomed to remain stranded in space?
