The Disasters [Paperback] England, M. K.

**The Disasters by M.K. England - Space Academy Misfits Save the Universe**

When Nax flunks out of Ellis Station Academy on day one, they figure their space dreams are toast. Plot twist: getting kicked out might've saved their life. This fast-paced YA sci-fi thriller follows a scrappy band of academy rejects who accidentally become humanity's last hope when their former school gets attacked by mysterious enemies.

England crafts a diverse, queer-friendly adventure that tackles themes of belonging, found family, and proving the underdogs wrong. Perfect for teens and adults who love space operas with heart, snappy dialogue, and characters who feel refreshingly real rather than chosen-one perfect.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks brings you all the spaceship chases and emotional depth without the new-book price tag. Think *The Expanse* meets *Guardians of the Galaxy* with a healthy dose of teenage rebellion.
