Gabby has two extreme challenges to deal with in this third
book of the series. Not only is she given care of a world ending alien artifact,
but faces hers biggest alien babysitting job yet. On top of everything
else her human nemesis Madison will not leave her alone and is making her life
even more complicated. Additionally her mom is dating a man she suspects of
being either a bad alien or in league with them. Thankfully one of her best
friends knows about everything and can help –the other, well he is trying to
process everything still.
I really liked the first book in this series (and it has
been popular in my library). This one is really fun and interesting as well. It
has authentic dialogue, well crafted characters, a complex yet lighthearted
plot, and lots of fast paced action. The BIG problem –the new covers for the
series. The first one was appealing and intriguing to upper grade students.
This one is VERY dated and boing looking –not to mention it gives away the
plot. I honestly think it this could ruin it chances for circulation with the
age group that is able follow the complex and continuing plotlines.
