Chapter 1: George's life
I live in an average igloo, and have an average life. I make candles for the Lodge, and I have always had an interest in the stars and planets. I always have dreamed of a distant planet, the real planet Y, a place covered with penguins! I have always wanted to try to go there. So I used all my life's savings: 15,000 coins, and used pieces to build a shuttle.
