Book Review

I like that the book is mainly a chapter book with some comic book pages

I liked how the writer created lots of unusual characters. For example, Mags (security) who can expand cracks in her skin to reveal molten lava underneath! Jello eats metal, sometimes the wrong metals like tools, and then poops out light speed fuel. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I liked the picture of Jello eating an arcade game on page 191 and he even absorbs a spaceship so he can produce more lightspeed fuel. The enemy who owns the spaceship is absolutely furious which was really funny. The space pirates were also funny: they said ‘Welcome aboard – may your stay be short and unpleasant’.

If Jello came to our house we wouldn’t have a computer or anything metal in the house at the very least. Or any overalls because he eats overalls too! He can absorb people but he just keeps them there like a forcefield and doesn’t hurt them. On page 164 and 165 there are pictures of him morphing into different shapes but usually he’s a big blob.

There are many different things that I could mention but if so this would be about 300 pages long and nobody would like to read that so read the book if you want to know about choking space worms and the power-obsessed head of WarpCo aka Electra.

I like that the book is mainly a chapter book with some comic book pages – it’s pretty interesting. I would recommend it to people who like a supercute alien who absorbs metal, and is sometimes a giant nuisance!
