This plucky twelve-year-old is inspired by hope and a relentless drive to do the right thing. But what will this determination cost her? When Ela makes a startling discovery on the barren outskirts of her city, it sets into motion a series of events that will change her life – and the life of her planet – forever.

Energetic and often impatient, Josh is one of Ela’s best friends. Never afraid to stand up for what’s right or speak his mind, Josh is a fierce force working alongside Ela and Meira, fighting for good.

Ela’s other best friend, Meira uses her encyclopaedic knowledge to help Ela on her quest to discover the truth about Planet B. Thoughtful, cautious, and curious, Meira’s steadfast convictions and boundless intelligence help uncover the big secret on Planet B.
