Sky KeepersIce Beside the SunCover coming soon
At ten to two on a frosty January night, the sky over the hill turns red, and Leo wants to see the spot on the Sun that did it. The old observatory key takes the cousins to Mercury, as near the Sun as the lantern's light will go. Leo is sure that close to the Sun everything must be an oven, and on Mercury that certainty sends them running the wrong way.

About the Sky Keepers series
Sky Keepers is a series of illustrated adventures for readers aged ten to twelve about space as it really is. Cousins Maya and Leo, with a clockwork owl whose star chart stopped in 1889, step through an old observatory door to real places in the solar system and beyond. Each book delivers one astronomy topic through a story with real stakes, and shows how astronomers found out what the owl never knew.
