Erin Ley’s creation of her space academy student, Maggie the Magnificent, is a dream come true. Reach for the stars! That’s what Erin did and that’s exactly where her dreams took her.

Maggie the Magnificent is a sociable twelve-year-old girl with a curious mind, courageous spirit, and loving heart. She was born on December 8, 3498, over a thousand years from now, on Planet Earth. In the year 3510 Maggie travels from planet to planet, flying through the galaxy in her spaceship; however, she is always connected to her home through a chip in her arm. Her house is part human and part robot. It has feelings. Actually, her whole family is connected to the house and it takes very good care of Maggie, her younger brothers, Tommy and Joey, and her mom and dad mainly because they take very good care of their home. Some of her fellow space academy students from Earth and other planets don’t take care of their houses so their home does not thrive. This makes Maggie sad. She understands the importance of good character, good qualities in oneself, and to bring those to her house.

Maggie was diagnosed with a severe peanut allergy when she was just a baby so she has to be very careful about what food she eats. Other than her family and house, her best friends Brooke, Ryan, and Jonah always help to make sure she’s safe. Maggie recognizes the meaning of what it is to take good care of oneself and others; to always love yourself. No one is perfect, not even Maggie the Magnificent. Maggie always says that as long as she tries her best to be responsible, respectful, honest, caring, generous, to be able to give and receive compassion, show self-discipline, and have a strong sense of self-esteem which means having the courage to be you instead of wanting to be like someone else, than it makes her feel good about herself. Others have told her that she makes them feel good too because they can trust her and count on her when they need help.

Maggie is looking forward to getting to know all of you and hopes you enjoy her intergalactic experiences. They are lots of fun and would love for you to join her.
