The Petite Picassos and the Shooting Stars groups are working together on a big project: creating a space-themed art piece and growing plants in water, just like they do in space. Not only is it worth four points on the Astro Mission chart, Astrid is finally working with her best friend, Hallie.
But Astrid’s excitement doesn’t last long when they are grouped with her archnemesis, Pearl. What’s worse is that Hallie actually agrees with some of Pearl’s ideas for the project. Isn’t she supposed to be on Astrid’s side?
And when the plants start to be stinkier than normal, Astrid thinks something—or someone—is trying to hurt their chances at winning the larger mission. Can Astrid, Pearl, and Hallie figure out a way to make their project out of this world?
