What an ending to this crazy adventurous book! I felt this one was better than some of the other books. I appreciate that it was quicker and full of action. The ending was crazy and unexpected in ways too. These have been fun to read to my 7, almost 8 year old son.

The bad guys didn't make sense, nor did many of the events in the story. It wasn't arbitrary in a fun way like some adventure books are. Yes, there was the author's snarkiness, but I wasn't feeling it.

First of all, don't let my low rating scare you away. I know I am not the target audience for this book, which is probably middle-elementary school boys. My third-grade son enjoyed this series quite a bit, and I credit these books with helping to get him interested in longer chapter books.
That said, it's just too silly and outrageous for my liking! In this book, we deviate a bit from the familiar cross-country trip during which Coke and Pep fend off Dr. Warsaw and his henchmen. Instead, the first few chapters pick up where the last book left off - with Coke and Pep being abducted by aliens! At least it provided some context for the author to impart a bunch of science and space-related facts.
The book does give us a conclusion, though maybe I'd stop short of calling it satisfying.

The book was so good that I finished it really quick. My sister got the book before me and she still has not finished it. I am a typically fast reader and I can still analyze a book and summerize and anylize the book when I finish it in 1 day to 3 days but this one was special and if my mom asked me to summerize the book I would still tell her about it. The reason this is is because this was a funny, fun, adventurous book to read I recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it before
