The Space Hoppers Club

Coming in 2027!

At the most prestigious private school in the galaxy, Singko Academy, thirteen-year-old ZELLA KI'O stands out, even among the diverse alien student body, with her four graceful arms and large butterfly-like wings. Yet she still feels completely invisible months into her first year — until she begins posting snack review videos that reveal her true, witty self. These videos become her only outlet, a digital stage where she can be irreverent and authentic, in stark contrast to the reserved persona her culture expects.

When her grades plummet, her parents deliver an ultimatum: improve academically or lose her camera. In desperation, Zella joins the Space Hoppers Club—founded by the enigmatic Professor SILEEA SIIPTAR to give promising students hands-on experience with archaeological discoveries, though rumors suggest she uses the club for her own classified research. The current members are an eclectic group of misfits: ZERO, a sound-sensing prankster who targets Zella; PERUN, an overachieving exchange student hiding a secret; OPAL, whose color-changing skin reveals their emotions; and DAVS, a gaseous being in a containment suit who's checked out as graduation approaches. Their teacher-bot chaperone HAMJO, like Sileea, seems to harbor his own mysterious agenda. For Zella, the club's regular weekend expeditions around the galaxy become her final chance to save her academic standing, though she has no idea she's about to be pulled into something far bigger than a grade rescue mission.
