When an alien delegation comes to
Earth offering Earth a chance to join the galactic alliance, 4 teens are picked
to represent Earth in space. To earn Earth’s entrance, however, they will have
to gain experience through games and other training sessions to level up. To
earth entrance, they will have to reach level 80 between them. Meet Zeke Reynolds,
major science fiction geek who knows everything there is to know about it.
Picked as a Random, a person picked by chance instead of skill, he doesn’t know
if he has what it takes. As he uncovers more about the aliens, however, he
realizes the alliance has some nasty skeletons in the closet. Can Zeke save the
day? Will Earth make it into the alliance?
Action-packed and filled with
everything a geek’s paradise needs, this book easily pulls readers into Zeke’s
world. The plot is well-written, the characters are well-developed, and the
mystery is intriguing. Fans of science fiction, Bongo Fishing by Thacher Hurd,
Aliens on Vacation by Clete Barrett Smith, Star Wars, and other alien novels
will enjoy reading this book. EL. MS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian,
