Bransford, Nathan Jacob Wonderbar and the Cosmic Space Kapow,

Content: G; Violence G.
Jacob and his friends Dexter and Sarah have come across
a spaceship in the woods. They
trade the owner a corndog for it and take off on an intergalactic
adventure! They meet a space
pirate, a princess, wacky scientists and the king of everything, but what they
want most of all is to go home. The problem is, they caused a big “Space Kapow”
and now the path back is obstructed and under construction.
While the title of this book was very
intriguing, I found the novel disappointing. The plot twists were silly, the characters almost too
predictable and cartoonish. I felt the author was writing as an elementary
student, rather than for an elementary student.
