Join Finn and his companions for an action-packed adventure as they try to save the planet - and maybe the whole universe! (Content warning: contains violent and potentially upsetting descriptions.) Finn Foley doesn't really have any friends in his new hometown, but he's trying his best. Even so, he can't seem to catch a break, until suddenly he is pulled into trouble on a whole different scale! Finn ends up working with an unlikely team battling a powerful enemy for the future of Earth and beyond. It will take contributions from the whole ragtag bunch to overpower the Plague. Along the way, Finn learns more about friendship, family, and what it means to be a hero. The ending leaves readers anxious to find out what experiences await Finn and his friends in the next book! And this reader also hopes to learn a bit more about the characters as well.
Finn and the Intergalactic Lunchbox will appeal to many kids, but be aware that it is not a good fit for more sensitive readers. Descriptions of violence and harm may cause anxiety.

Another winner by Michael Buckley. Well-developed scifi story, fun characters, and plenty of action without a lot of mindless running around.

This book was fun and full of action and I liked how we got a lit of charcters' POVs.
However, there was a lot going on. The final battle was a lot and squeezed into only a chapter or two. There were a lot of characters, too and a bunch of names were tossed around.
Overall a fun book, but with a bit too much going on.

As I read this, I kept saying it would make an awesome animated movie. Never a moment passed that this reader was bored. The characters were dynamic and flawed and like any kids’ book, ended with enough hope to feel like you’re satisfied that you’ve just spent the hours reading something so entertaining. I will be recommending this to every middle school librarian that I know!

I almost gave up on this book. The science fiction descriptions were overly complicated which led to me rereading pages more then once. I was also in pure disbelief while reading the dialogue between the children. As soon as I disregarded the ages of the main characters and told myself I was reading a YA novel it became a page turner. The non stop action pauses, sometimes too abruptly, to show character development. Overall, I am glad I didn't throw in the towel and can't wait to catch up with Finn in the next space adventure. I just hope it finds its way into the YA section.
