From award-winning storyteller Peter Carnavas comes this stellar novel about space, soccer and the best friend you could ever imagine.

Ralph sat up. His voice was croaky. ‘If a shooting star zoomed past right now, what would you wish for?’
‘To find another friend like you.’

Leo and Ralph have been best friends ever since Ralph flew down from one of Jupiter’s moons. But now Leo’s in Grade Four and he’s spending too much time in his own imagination. Mum and Dad say it’s time to say goodbye. The family are moving to a small country town and they hope Leo might finally find a real friend. But someone like Ralph is very hard to leave behind…

Perfect for kids who enjoy gentle, thoughtful stories like The Wild Robot by Peter Brown and the Polly and Buster series by Sally Rippin.
