Summary
DJ, Gina, and Hilo are together again for an adventure involving space dinosaurs, space pirates, and a very important space iguana. And several alien armies who want that important space iguana!
It’s a good thing DJ has been getting in shape and Gina has been doing magic for “years.” (It’s a time travel thing.) And Hilo of course has all sorts of super gifts.
That space iguana seems to know things about DJ and about Hilo that none of them know. Sadly, they aren’t going to get to dig into those mysteries until they resolve the interstellar war.
Review
This is a WACKY story! All of my favorite characters from the series are back, and I loved the space adventure. But this also feels like a transitional story. Not much “progress” is made, and nothing much is revealed. Gina is told she has to pass a test so she can go home for good, but that’s not even resolved by the end. And the next book in the series is going to be a holiday special. While I am ecstatic about getting a fun holiday story, that means we have to wait even longer for the story arc here to move forward.
Series fans will enjoy spending time with their favorite charactes. But readers hoping to see the current arc advance could be a bit disappointed. On the plus side, this story might be random enough to work for newcomers who can enjoy the wacky story and then go back to book 1 and learn more about these characters.
