Carter, hurt when his best friend, Oliver, takes another boy to the planetarium, determines to build a spaceship without Oliver's help. Carter promises the first ride to each person who does help, but a design flaw (only two seats!) forces him to re-prioritize. Childlike acrylics with Photoshopped images of various items and tools give the book a hip techie quality.
