What is Nova about?
Max Nova is travelling to Mercury with his father when their spacecraft is diverted to investigate a strange gravity reading near the Sun. What they discover is not a supernova, but something far more dangerous: a wormhole that hurls Max into the distant reaches of space. Alone and surrounded by unknown hazards, Max must use his courage, quick thinking and knowledge of space to survive. With time running out, he must find a way home before he is lost forever.
