Stephen McCranie's Space Boy Volume 20
Caught Cassie finds herself in deep trouble with the police, after her journey down the rabbit hole of trying to find Amy puts her on legally shaky ground. She enlists the help of her whole friend group (and an unwilling Scott) to clear her name, and the friendly officer Sherman faces a tough choice.

Stephen McCranie's Space Boy Volume 21
A terrible truth about the Wanderer is revealed Zeph finally has a potential lead to Amy's kidnapping: Jemmah--the last person Amy called on homecoming night. Meanwhile, Qiana and Amy venture into the Lords of Lore to find Sophi. When she offers to help them escape the FCP, Amy finds herself torn between seeing her family again and helping Qiana with her quest. A fragment of the ancient Babyloyptian scroll may provide answers, but it may also lead to more questions... Regrets are voiced and deep wounds are healed in this latest volume of Stephen McCranie's Space Boy.
Stephen McCranie's Space Boy Volume 22
Before Amy met the boy with no flavor and slowly brought him out of his shell, someone else had tried long and hard to do just that... Dr. Kim recounts his tragic backstory to Amy. Amy learns about how Dr. Kim began building RFPs, how he came to be working for the FPC, and all about his long and fraught relationship with Oliver. Meanwhile, the discovery of the missing pages from Lesnik's book, along with Sophi's continued interference with his net gear glasses, leads Director Langley to begin to suspect there's a mole in the FPC. In Volume 22 of Stephen McCranie's Space Boy we learn that there can be healing, even for the wounds that are self-inflicted.
