Gr 4–7—Readers are in for some close encounters of the zany kind. In the series opener, Kevin Brewer and his friends got more than they bargained for when a communication device they created to contact aliens resulted in their inadvertently summoning an alien fugitive to Earth. In this latest installment, tons of other alien criminals are on their way, and there's plenty of action in store for the foursome. A quirky, fast-paced read, ideal for sci-fi fans and reluctant readers alike.
In the series-starter, thirteen-year-old Kevin and his science camp friends defeat the alien outlaw Mim. Dorkness immediately follows the events, as Kevin's team of fellow campers (a.k.a. "the Extraordinary Terrestrials") now must prepare to battle Mim's friends who have come for revenge. The sci-fi nerd humor and accompanying black-and-white cartoon illustrations will entertain reluctant readers; both volumes end with a cliffhanger. Review includes these titles: Galaxy's Most Wanted and Galaxy's Most Wanted: Into the Dorkness.
