Bennett Bardo of Gordo, New Mexico is an 18 year old nerdy
senior who gets his dream girl, Sophie to go to prom with him. But
then the unthinkable happens. Aliens abduct Sophie. Bennett has to choose to go to the prom
dateless and explain Sophie’s disappearance or attempt finding her somewhere in
the galaxy. Luckily, the alien rock band Perfectly Reasonable comes
to Bennett’s rescue while he is sitting in a fast food drive through.
Bennett travels through space on the Interstellar Libertine tour bus visiting
otherworldly concert venues and experiencing various alien mishaps as he tries
to rescue Sophie from the All Universe Nature Channel reality show. Will
Bennett rescue Sophie in time to attend prom?
This was a laugh out loud hilarious book with all kinds of
quirky characters and wildly crazy adventures as Bennett travels throughout
the galaxy. The author’s writing style is engaging and witty. Who
would not love a book that tells you the 4 factors needed to get abducted by
aliens. Drugs and alcohol are prevalent throughout the book so caution is
advised.
