Interstellar Ella takes place in the year 3021 in the Milky Way, where eight-year-old Ella gleefully heads out with her friends on exciting adventures of discovery. At only eight, she already knows quite a bit about space… but there is always more to explore! With Slippy and Madhu, her besties, Ella navigates the challenges that come her way. Things may not always work out the way she plans, but Ella never lets that get in the way of interstellar fun.
