Blurb

STAR Academy is a 2009 comedic sci-fi children's novel by Canadian author Edward Kay, who is also the co-creator of the animated series, Jimmy Two-Shoes. The book was published in September 2009, by Random House / Doubleday Canada.
STAR Academy has been compared by some to Harry Potter because of its boarding school setting and fantastical elements. However, it is distinct in that it uses science in place of magic and is essentially satirical.
