Space Boy Volume 3 by Stephen McCranie
5.0
Another volume of this all-ages book. Another delightful smashing of a YA trope.
The love triangle. The side character is in love with the protagonist, but it appears the protagonist has eyes for someone else. All the other side characters do their best to manifest the results that best benefits themselves. It's so overdone, and it was clear in volume two that the story was going to have to deal with this trope. The way it works out is absolutely wonderful.
I can't stress enough how perfect this series is for kids. Low stake, solvable problems in a sci-fi world. The characters are all fleshed out well, and the sitcom and coming-of-age movie tropes are completely dismantled into realistic solutions. It's also perfect for adults.
