Barnes and Noble overview on this book also.Self-proclaimed genius inventor Alex is convinced that his little brother Jonathan is evil. The kid never shuts up. He's a klutz, and he drools on his pillow when he sleeps. Jonathan's specialty, though, is sticking to Alex like glue -- and sticking his nose into his big brother's business. That's why Alex has to leave Earth and fly so far away that no one will ever be able to find him. Using cardboard, duct tape, old odds and ends and his amazing scientific imagination, Alex builds Star Jumper, a spaceship that will deliver him from his rotten little brother forever! It's a plan only a cardboard genius could ever hope to pull off. But Jonathan has other ideas -- and a secret that ultimately brings forth Alex's most brilliant creation ever!
I read this book outloud with my boys. Zach wasn't to interested but did listen and actually took it and finished it after we had finished reading the one night. I read for 20 minutes and it took 3 days so it was a very quick read. But we enjoyed it and I was very surprised. I picked it up from the library strictly for Jacob who ist struggling with wanting to read (he finds it boring can you imagine that) I didn't think it would be something I would really like. It was actually really cute and pretty good. There are two more books in the series and they are on the list for us at the library we are looking forward to reading them as well.
