Celeste is having a hard time at school; she can’t seem to make any friends in her class, so she decides she must be from outer space. She knows there’s a whole world of people like her up in the stars, so she decides to make a spaceship that will take her home. That is, until she meets Martin, a new boy at school, who wants to help build the rocket and inadvertently changes her course. Together, they learn that our differences open up whole new worlds, and seeing things differently can be a tremendous gift.
