My attempt at a summary: Milo lives in the Trubble Orphanage for Troubled Tots where he rarely speaks. The orphanage is crushed by a Hula-hoop and the children of Trubble are saved from aliens because they were tethered to the Wheel O’ Death ride, which when they are flung from it, they discover there are no adults in the town. And then it gets weird.
Wicked funny read. Pastis has a gift for bizarre but hilarious absurdity. Even though this is aimed at kids, the humor had me hooked and I think it would appeal to any audience. It’s like a comedic acid trip. Sign me up for the next one.
