Summary: Twenty-five years ago, the Givers visited the Earth and gave the human race the most advanced technology ever created: the Ladders. Each of the massive towers stretches 36,000 miles into the sky and power the entire planet. Not long after, however, the Givers mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a few trained children behind to keep the Ladders operational. These elite technicians compete fiercely to enter the Laddertop Academy, and for best friends Robbi and Azure, it's a dangerous game.

Then, for reasons unknown, the Givers disappeared. Due to the unique alien construction of the Laddertop space stations, only a skilled crew of children can perform the maintenance necessary to keep the stations up and running.Back on Earth, competition is fierce to enter Laddertop Academy. It is an honor few students will achieve.
