The artwork in this book pops out of the panels. I haven’t come across this in any other children’s comics, so this would be a great title to add to your collection if you’re looking for diverse characters. This isn’t mentioned in the story, it’s just a natural part of him. One of the students, Walden, has a cochlear implant. Additionally, Foxe has created wonderfully diverse characters. Real scientific facts are peppered throughout the dialogue, complemented with lots of jokes and clever plays on words. Oh, and they need to do all this before lunchtime. K to get all the research they need for their assignment, while helping to save the galaxy! We meet strange alien characters while the students are forced to get creative, even using a library card to help them escape. However, his research, and the entire galaxy are threatened when his evil cousin, Kronkold, invents a new device that can generate black holes.Īt the same time, we have four students: Walden, TJ, Shea, and Dani, who need to complete a research assignment on a famous scientist. He is, in fact, an alien working on learning as much as he can about human children. K, turns out to be more than just a school librarian. From an octopus alien using twists on common expressions, such as “on the other tentacle,” to being glombuxed, this book is sure to get a laugh out of kids.
Author Steve Foxe uses language creatively and humorously to create a world of adventure. One sign of an excellent author is when they can sprinkle in completely made up words that fit so perfectly with a story, that you find yourself looking them up to double check that they are in fact not real words.
