RACE AROUND THE MOON! Barbara Winton and the rest of the Bright Sparks, Dr. Keegan Bright's team of youthful scientists, are competing in the first ever race to completely circle the Moon! The Sparks--along with twenty- five other teams--have to count on one another as they face thousands of kilometers of unknown dangers, where a simple accident can have fatal consequences. A TEST OF ALLIANCE AND FRIENDSHIP The Sparks forge ties with racers from all over, but also must deal with a former Spark, Pam, a threatening figure whose disappearance from the Sparks program is shrouded in mystery. A LIFE AND DEATH FINISH While the Sparks compete in the race, Dr. Bright himself is part of a groundbreaking project to seek out rare minerals underneath a crater.
