Bright Family

Too Cool For School

About The Book

The Bright Family is blasting into a new school year, meeting students from all over the galaxy in the 3rd book focusing on family, friendships, and fun!

It’s a brand-new school year, and the Brights are tackling it just like any other family: by hopping into their minivan, taking a portal to a custom-terraformed planetoid, and meeting students from all over the galaxy! But Nia and Jayden are about to learn that there’s more to a universal education than befriending a Glob and mastering mechball.

This book includes a never-before-seen bonus tale featuring the Brights’ lovable robot nanny, Dusty, and his double from a very different dimension.
