Ava was a curious girl who loved looking at stars. Every night, she’d peek through her little telescope, wondering what it would be like to fly through space.
One evening, as she gazed at the twinkling sky, her telescope started to glow! With a gentle whoosh, it transformed into a shiny silver spaceship—just big enough for her!
Ava climbed inside, and the ship counted down: “3… 2… 1… BLAST OFF!” The stars zoomed past her window as she rocketed into space.
She flew past the Moon and waved at an astronaut doing a silly moonwalk. “Hi there!” Ava giggled.
Next stop: Mars! She landed in a red, dusty valley and met a friendly Martian named Zog, who had three eyes and loved to dance.
“Welcome, Ava!” Zog said. “Want to join the Martian Moon-Hop Dance?” Ava laughed and joined in, bouncing like a spring!
After saying goodbye to Zog, Ava zoomed toward Saturn. Its rings sparkled like a giant hula hoop.
She flew through the rings and collected a tiny glowing space crystal to remember her journey.
Suddenly, her spaceship beeped: “Unidentified object ahead!” It was a lost space puppy floating near Jupiter!
Ava carefully brought the pup aboard. “I’ll help you find your home,” she promised.
They searched each planet, asking space creatures, “Do you know this puppy?”
Finally, on Neptune’s icy moon, they found the puppy’s alien family—blue with floppy ears just like him!
The puppy gave Ava a happy lick and wagged his tail as he ran to his family.
Ava waved goodbye and headed back toward Earth, zooming past comets and giggling stars.
Her spaceship gently landed in her backyard. The telescope turned back to normal—but it sparkled a little more now.
Ava smiled. “What a space-tacular adventure!” she whispered. And as she looked up, one star twinkled just for her.
