12yo Kim knows that his 10yo sister Eila is smarter than he is, but that doesn’t mean she is always right. She should have left the glowing orb alone like he told her to. Now Eila seems more insufferable than usual, thanks to Aster (the orb has a name) and Kim is almost sure it has something to do with that orb. With the help of his best friend, Bennie, Kim hopes that he can for once outsmart his sister and save Earth in the bargain..
A mildly interesting/funny scifi book. Eila was irritating from the first page, but I like Kim. I think this was set in the 1970s, but the setting didn’t really play into the plot, except for the lack of technology simplifying the action. Might be worth it in paperback.
