Comments

]...] Buckley kicks off his new SF/adventure series with this high-energy, slightly sarcastic opener. Realistic kids, wild aliens, and unicorns sure to surprise readers add to the fun. ..The whizz-bang, globe-threatening finish has closure but sets up Book 2 nicely. If the laughs don't keep the pages turning, the action will. -- Kirkus Reviews

Alien bugs! Laser cannons! blood-thirsty unicorns ... Don't be surprised if this lunchbox sucks you in, too. --- Max Brallier, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth series

Packed with all manner of aliens, plenty of fantastical action, and even a lesson in friendship, the first novel in Buckley's newest series is certain to be a hit with those who boldly go. Action fans will enjoy the lengthy robot vs. alien fights and ice cream truck chase scenes, and there's just enough potty humor to keep reluctant readers interested while the secrets of the universe are unraveled. The cast of characters is thoughtfully diverse, and conversations surrounding heavier topics are written with a wry air of normalcy that is both realistic and refreshing [A] satisfying planetary romp, and the promised sequel will no doubt have a crew of fans. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Hold onto your butts as Buckley, author of the popular Sisters Grimm and NERDS series, throws his newest adventure into hyperdrive from page one. ...[T]his book is entirely about nonstop action and well-placed dashes of humor...Light-speed fun. --Booklist
