I really really enjoyed this story a lot more then I thought I would in the beginning. 
 Mike (the main character) is a little obnoxious and some of the language and attitude is a little out there. I thought I would hate this book. But after 50 pages the author really changed the character and I loved this book. An author who makes the characters develop over a book and a stand alone novel is brilliant! 
 It's great to see a sci-fi book geared to 8/9 year olds that they could understand. Take the whole name calling like fart brain and such out and I'd be a perfect book. 
 I'd read this over again!
