What I Didn’t Like:

There are a few questions I have, as an adult Scifi reader, that are never addressed to my satisfaction. That being said, this isn’t a book for adults so there’s some grace you can offer here.
The banter between the friends felt like it lost something this time around, but that’s only when compared to book 1 and likely only because book 1 set such a high bar.
Again, the adults in this one are really questionable. That’s normal in middle grade books but this time it included the police and that bugged me.

The title, while still a bit silly, actually worked this time for the story. It doesn’t really affect my rating but I figured I better mention it since I mentioned it as a negative for book 1.
The characters are still wonderful. They’re all realistic but different. They don’t read like cookie cutter characters. I even adored the addition of Pyro, who added a sort of comedic element to this one.
Again the events of the book are satisfyingly intriguing and exciting. There’s a lot here that will please even an experienced Scifi reader.
Silly in a good way (as the title implies). This gives you some chuckles but it doesn’t take away from the serious events of the story.

Middle grade readers who like good characters, funny storylines, and a little action!
