Milo Stewart loves to read adventure books about faraway places. In fact, on the first day of school, he'd rather stay in bed and read about outer space. At school, he feels left out when the other kids talk about the fun places they visited over summer break. Milo's greatest dream is to explore the world, and maybe even go to outer space.

When Milo comes home from school feeling upset, his Aunty Nora knows just what to do. With the help of a special family heirloom and a little bit of magic, Milo might just get his wish.
