lavender boots. I’m trading. One of you has to give me your boots.”
    Jacob and Dexter ran out of the room to go put on their spacesuits.
    â€œThis is so sexist!” Sarah yelled after them.
    Dexter and Jacob quickly put on their spacesuits and waited for Sarah. When she emerged from the captain’s quarters wearing her spacesuit she shook her head. “Don’t you think it’s a little bit strange that there were spacesuits that just happened to fit us already on board this ship? In the same rooms we chose? Did someone plan this trip for us?”
    Jacob ran over to the rear of the hold and found the exit button. “Yes, it’s very strange. In fact, let’s talk about it some more. In outer space .”
    He pressed the button. The rear door opened with a hiss, and Jacob dove out into space.
    Dexter stepped over to the edge and watched Jacob sail around, twisting and turning in loops and doing a series of awkward somersaults in zero gravity.
    Sarah dove out right after Jacob, and Dexter gingerly stepped out and felt the outer space vacuum pull him away from the ship.
    Jacob quickly figured out that his spacesuit and jetpack had a self-propulsion system. When he put his hands forward like he was diving into water, he zoomed forward. Every lean sent him in a different direction, and all he had to do was put his hands to his side to hit the brakes. He zoomed in a straight line away from the spaceship before doubling back in a graceful arc.

    â€œThis is pretty much the coolest thing ever,” Jacob said through the intercom.
    â€œI would have to agree,” Sarah said after doing a perfect figure eight.
    Dexter was just drifting in space by himself and not making any sudden movements. “I think I’m getting space sick.”
    Jacob marveled that he was spacewalking with his favorite people from Earth, floating around and doing flips and seeing what zero gravity really felt like: kind of like swimming, only waving your arms and kicking your legs didn’t get you very far.
    Jacob went zooming after Sarah and gave her leg a strong shove, which sent her careening in circles. She righted course and charged straight for Jacob’s stomach, slamming into him with her shoulder. “Oof,” Jacob said, doubling over.
    He grabbed her by the shoulders, and Sarah and Jacob made eye contact, floating together slowly. Sarah smiled. Then she gave him a fierce head butt, helmet to helmet.
    â€œOw!”
    â€œHa-ha!”
    Jacob flew away in the opposite direction.
    That was when he saw the lights of the police cruiser.

CHAPTER 9
    T wo policemen with bright pink skin emerged from a sleek police space cruiser striped with blue and black bars. The officers wore dark blue spacesuits that barely contained their massive bodies, and they looked as if they were pumped full of air to the bursting point. As they ushered the children back onto the man in silver’s spaceship, Jacob realized he was probably in violation of a surprisingly vast array of interplanetary laws. Now that he knew there really were humans in outer space, he wondered if the planets they had destroyed had actually been inhabited. He leaned over and put his face in his hands.
    The two space officers introduced themselves as Officers Bosendorfer and Erard.
    â€œFirst question,” Officer Bosendorfer said, “who is responsible for this disaster?” “I—” Jacob said.

    â€œNot you,” Officer Erard said.
    Sarah and Dexter shook their heads. “You either,” Officer Erard said.

    Jacob heard a pained sigh, and a sassy female voice said, “I was giving these children a perfectly good and incredibly fast tour of their star system when they decided to override my systems and managed to destroy a very nice planet and several star systems. It’s been simply ghastly.”
    Sarah gasped. “The spaceship can talk?”

    â€œWhat did you expect?” she said.
    â€œWhy
