Book Description
From the acclaimed actor and Stonewall Honor–winning author of The Best at It, Maulik Pancholy, comes a new middle grade novel about a gay Indian American boy who learns the power of using his voice. For fans of Merci Suárez Changes Gears and Better Nate Than Ever. Thirteen-year-old Nikhil Shah is the beloved voice actor for Raj Reddy on the hit animated series Raj Reddy in Outer Space. But when his mom temporarily moves them to the small town in Ohio where she grew up to take care of Nikhil’s sick grandfather, Nikhil feels as out of orbit as his character. Nikhil’s fame lands him the lead in the school musical, but he’s terrified that everyone will realize he’s a fraud once they find out he has stage fright. And when a group of conservative parents start to protest having an openly gay actor in the starring role, Nikhil feels like his life would be easier if only he could be Raj Reddy full-time. Then Nikhil wakes up one morning and hears a crack in his voice, which means his job playing Raj will have to come to an end. Life on earth is way more complicated than life on television. And some mysteries—like new friendships or a sick grandparent or finding the courage to speak out—don’t wrap up neatly between commercial breaks.

Phoenix Incorporated, one of the most powerful industry conglomerates, decide to build a state-of-the-art cruise ship, The Adamas, as part of their bicentennial celebrations. Under the able leadership of their Chairman and CEO, Courtney Brown, the team builds a next-gen automated ship, with intelligent technology inbuilt so that the ship can think and act on her own, irrespective of any situation. And then comes 2020. The global pandemic leaves an indelible mark and Phoenix Incorporated is no exception.

Finally, after more than a year of uncertainty, on the 19th of November 2021, the ship starts her maiden voyage. Onboard is Courtney Brown, along with 100 eminent personalities, including deputies of the newly founded International Peace and Renewed Sustainability Committee (advisors nominated by the G20 countries). The world awaits with bated breath as the “ship of the future” sets sail, not knowing that she is about to be HIJACKED… but without a single hijacker on board.
