This book was so amazing!! I started reading it aloud with my fifth graders but we didn't get to finish. I read to the end myself and I regret not starting it earlier with them so I could do the entire duology over the course of the school year. 
This book is chock full of incredible humour, hella poop jokes, an incredible amount of information on the multiverse theory, and a bunch of comic relief sentient AI. I loved the friendships, the family dynamics, the lessons about honesty, about generosity, and more. An all round perfect read for literally anyone.
