Overview
Tate Tuber has always known he was destined for greatness. A couch potato? Not Tate—he’s going to be an astronaut! So when
Tate sees his chance to join space training, he literally jumps at the chance.
But on his first mission, Tate learns that his role doesn’t include finding aliens or stopping asteroids. The human astronauts want to use Tate in a space farming experiment. How disappointing! But when the space station loses power and begins hurtling back towards earth, it’s up to Tate to save the day with his ability to conduct electricity! Potato power!
In the back of the book are science facts about how potatoes really do conduct electricity, growing veggies in space, and more!
