Description
When twelve-year-old Lilly Chatterjee sees a strange green "root" blink across the Bangalore sky, everyone calls it debris. Lilly calls it a mystery. She climbs to the rooftop, catches a falling fragment, and discovers something impossible: a piece of glass that behaves like a living plant.With her brother Arjun and her best friend Kareem, Lilly sneaks the sample into the school lab and uncovers a secret no textbook explains. The only way to learn more? Enter the school's CubeSat competition and send the fragment into orbit-without letting any adults know what they're really studying.What begins as a after-school science project turns serious when the root reaches the space station and starts to grow. It slips into wiring, drinks power, and forces the crew-and Lilly-to decide what to do with a form of life that doesn't follow any rules they've ever learned.Set between a lively Bangalore school and the silence of low Earth orbit, Lilly and the Sky-Root is a fast, STEM-driven adventure about curiosity, teamwork, and the courage to ask real questions-even when the adults aren't ready for the answers.Perfect for readers who love science, mystery, and kids who save the day with their brains.
