The funniest alien in the universe lands on the galaxy's weirdest planet: Earth On the planet Crouton, kids never have to straighten their rooms or make their own beds. That's because their rooms aren't crooked, and when they need beds, they just buy them. It's a pretty neat place. But when Funny Boy--a Croutonian smart-aleck with the galaxy's best sense of humor--shoots his brother with a spitball, his parents strap him into a spaceship and blast him to Earth. Things get strange from the minute his spaceship crash-lands in the underwear factory. A planet-gobbling alien is about to attack his new home, and Funny Boy doesn't have any weapons besides a talking dog and a razor-sharp wit. But there is good news: Something about Earth's atmosphere has made Funny Boy even funnier. His job is to crack the jokes, but he needs somebody to turn the pages. So get to it! Earth won't save itself! Funny Boy Meets the Airsick Alien from Andromeda is the 1st book in Funny Boy, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
My son is 9 years old, plays video games until he drops and cannot sit still. That is until he found the Funny Boy books. He can't get enough of them. We are constantly hearing him read out loud. In fact these are the first books that he actually finished outside of school. The writing is fast-paced and witty. But not dumbed down kid- style funny, it is humor that everyone can appreciate. We highly recommend them.
