Champions of the Galaxy
Book Review
It made me question if aliens really exist..??
This is an awesome book that I really enjoyed reading. It reminds me of Star Wars because it’s about space and aliens. Kola, is the main character who dreams of going to space.
When bad aliens come to Earth, a special group called the Onni gives kids a chance to save everyone. Kola gets to go on a big spaceship with other kids and they have to work together to win some challenges. I thought the spaceship was the like the Death Star from Star Wars
I enjoyed reading about Kola’s adventures and his new friends. It made me question if aliens really exist..??
If you like exciting stories about friendship and space, I think you should definitely read this story! It’s the first one in the series.
About the Book
When a powerful group of aliens threaten Earth, a mysterious species called the Onni offers humanity hope. But there’s a catch. Ninety-one children from across the planet must first prove their worth by competing in a series of trials set on a distant planet.
For twelve-year-old Kola, who has long dreamed of going into space, it’s the chance of a lifetime. But once aboard the Onni mothership, Kola finds himself thrown into a misfit team of Champions.
As secrets unravel and tensions rise, Kola and his team must decide who to trust and what it really means to be a Champion. Because in the end, it’s not about being the smartest or the strongest. It’s about standing together.
