A trip to the grandparents turns into a rehearsal for a mission to Mars. Tom and his adventurous discoveries – on Earth and in the universe!

Tom is a special child. During meals, he always has to sit to the right of the head of the table. Whenever things get too much for him, he puts on his astronaut suit. His greatest wish is to one day fly to Mars. But when his mother travels to China for work, Tom and his two older siblings embark on a completely different mission: to visit their grandparents in the countryside. With the old telescope that belonged to his deceased father, Tom sets off in search of an asteroid that could threaten the Earth. Thus starts for him a series of great discoveries. Warmhearted, funny and told with great attention to detail.
