At 9 Years Old, Our Youngest-Ever Maker!

When Pluto gets demoted from planet status, his universe gets turned upside down.

It's 2006, and Pluto's day starts like any other: pizza with friends, fun chats, and business as usual. Then Mars drops the bomb: Pluto has been officially kicked off the planet roster. No warning. No goodbye. Just...demoted. 

Suddenly, Pluto is spiraling. If he's not a planet anymore, what is he? A supernova? A Magic 8 Ball? A pancake? (Definitely not a pancake—he doesn't want to be eaten for breakfast.) As he wallows in his fluffy robe eating ice cream straight from the carton, Pluto faces an identity crisis that hits closer to home than he ever expected. 

What happens next will surprise him. And maybe reshape everything he thought he knew about who he really is.

Released to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Pluto’s real-life demotion day, Am I a Planet? is a funny, soulful story about identity, belonging, and figuring out where you fit—especially when the world seems to have decided for you. Perfect for kids 5–10 who love space, laugh-out-loud humor, and stories full of big feelings. This is a tale that celebrates being different and discovering what really matters.

Author: Oliver Popa loves to read and play Minecraft. He also likes to draw. Oliver, who is nine years old and lives in Edmonds, WA, with his family, often eats pepperoni and sausage pizza or steak for dinner—with a side of pineapple or Cosmic Crisp apple slices. Am I a Planet? is his second book.
