Shock the Monkey

2024
Noah Prime thought he was done: no more running, no more murderous aliens, and absolutely no more saving the world. The day he went into hiding should have put an end to it. But staying away is no longer an option when he winds up embroiled in yet another intergalactic calamity. This time, it's courtesy of his usually level-headed friend Ogden, whose crush on the most popular girl in school, Claire, leads him to buy her a star for her birthday. However, this heart-warming gesture ends up having disastrous consequences when it turns out the star is real-as in home to a gazillion aliens real. And it's not long before these creatures have swooped down to Earth to abduct Claire and take her back to their planet-or rather her planet-as its new owner. Now it's up to Noah and his quick-changing animal abilities to help his friends find her. But with dangerous forces still out there and a perilous journey ahead, will Noah be able to find Claire before she meets her untimely doom? Even if it means putting his friends in more danger than ever before? This action-packed, laugh-out-loud sci-fi adventure is perfect for fans of Eoin Colfer and Rick Riordan.
