Thoughts: This was such a fun book to read, with a wide diversity of great characters and action that never failed to excite me. Although it was a little under my age group (hence the 4 1/2 rating over 5), I still really enjoyed it and would wholeheartedly recommend it to ALL kids 10 and under. It's one of those books you'll never put down until you've finished it. Archie is a kind, adventurous and brave boy that also is very caring towards all alien life, and "earthlings" as well. He's an amazing role model for kids, and tells the story very excitingly through his perspective, with a ton of laugh-out-loud humor, too. Pockets was a great addition to the story as well, because he never ceased to lighten the mood of the story, even in dire situations. He was so much fun to read, too! The ending was satisfying and left anticipated room for another sequel. Overall, a great, "feel-good" yet action-packed story!
