[edit] Plot

Zenon Kar, 13, lives in a space station with her family and friends in the year 2049. Her antics often get the space station's administrators in fits and on one such occasion, her report of a chance encounter with the assistant to the station's owner and a suspicion of demolition plan get her confined to Earth when she isn't believed.

Zenon's troubles become much worse on Earth. Classmates at her new school ostracize her due to a different style of life; the assistant chases her believing she has information valuable to the station owner; and of course, a crush on Gregory, who saved her in a Physical Education class where in Zenon falls into a swimming pool and, not knowing how to swim, sinks to the bottom.

Zenon becomes involved in a race against time to save her beloved space station from shutdown at the hands of its owner.
