I don't know how he does it, but Barry Hutchison keeps getting funnier and funnier with every book he writes. This was one of the better books in the series, both from a humor and a storytelling standpoint. I love the way these characters continue to develop and the universe continues to evolve. Normally by this point in a book series I start to lose interest, but I'm still as hooked as I was during the second book, if not more so!

Another super fun read

I actually started a different book after Four. Got about ten pages, then started 5. Was not disappointed in the slightest. Go Space Teens!

The Space Team doesn't want to get involved in the (space) war, but it's hard for them to ignore that Zertex keeps attacking the Symmorium unfairly. And this time, Loren's brother is one of the Zertex generals involved in a war crime against the Symmorium.

This was one of my favourites in the series so far, which is promising since this is already the fifth one I am reading. The silliness flows rapidly without a pause to break the concentration and snap out of space. My brain kept flashing with great sceneries of new planets, civilisations, giant robots, food... And I think I found some references to Douglas Adams in there as well. What a fun series this is! And of course, Graphic Audio makes the text even better.

One of the more bizarre adventures in the series but it made all of the crew realize that they're a team. =)

10/10/2018 Mini-Review:

Awww, the team is actually getting their act together. Go Space Team! Nana Joan is rather terrifying but in a good way. I hope she shows back up in the series. I thought the middle of the book dragged but I think it was meant to feel like that. Another solid addition to the series. This book had wacko action, lots of silly humor and the true meaning of friendship.
