Synopsis

Ten-year-old Astra embarks on a 199-year journey to a new planet with her family, spending the voyage in cryogenic sleep.

When Astra awakens early, she discovers the ship is overrun by monstrous, sentient cakes and invaded by spoon-obsessed aliens. With her robot friend Pilbeam, Astra must navigate these challenges to save the ship and its sleeping passengers.
