LEO GEO AND THE COSMIC CRISIS/MATT DATA AND THE COSMIC CRISIS by Jon Chad. Roaring Brook, 2013.
When last we saw Leo Geo, he was working in his lab. As the story opens, he gets word that a comet is on its way to the space station where his brother, Matt Data, is working. At the space station, Matt Data learns that Leo's computer will turn on him while he is in space. This remarkable book can be read from front to middle and then flipped to read the story from the other perspective.
