An Urgent Flight into the Unknown

Twelve-year-old Thea prefers clean desks, careful planning, and staying completely out of trouble. Her younger sister Brigitte prefers rock climbing, daring stunts, and zero rules. But when their family cat Remo casually stretches and introduces himself as Brigadier General Remo Dupont, their whole world is flipped upside down.

Whisked away in a flying Roamer across the skies of Verutu, the sisters discover the sun is dying—and only the Sol Sisters hold the power to calibrate its light. Facing collapsing book-mountains, rogue droids, and treacherous aerial storms, Thea and Brigitte must face their past, conquer their fears, and unite before the universe goes dark.

About Sheila Yakobina

As a child, growing up in Montreal, Quebec, Sheila dreamed of traveling to another planet. When that didn't work out, she decided to create her own!

She grew up believing that every great adventure needs two things: a brave sister to have your back and a talking cat to provide the commentary. Sol Sisters and the Cosmic Catastrophe was inspired by all the cats who have ever owned her—and wondering what they would say if they could actually talk.

When she isn't crafting stories filled with sisterhood, high-stakes rescues, and cosmic wonders, she enjoys exploring the outdoors, reading, experimenting with recipes, and spending time with her family in Washington State. This is her debut novel.
