"A wholeheartedly charming cast of characters steers this witty and preposterous SF comedy." - Kirkus Reviews"The mix of space hijinks, humorous prose, and untamed adventure here is a winning combination, boosted with endless originality and pizzazz." - The BookLife Prize The award-winning first book in the Zoomarble series is a wild ride suitable for all ages. It is a nonstop comedy action tornado with a literary flare.Siblings arriving in a quirky new town are quickly entangled in an absurd mission to save the Earth. With what Kirkus Reviews calls, "Swetnam's deliberately nonsensical plot...", Joey and Clarissa team up with the aliens who are trying to protect the planet from other, more sinister, aliens. Saving the planet is always more difficult when trying to stay on budget for the investors. From Amazon Reviews: "The writing is slick and moves through the story without purple prose or pretension." "It's a fast-paced reading adventure with an abundance of quirky characters..." From Goodreads Reviews: "Great characters and a really great adventure. Full of imagination and light humor! This was a fun read."
