Fifth-grader Akiko and her friends, Poog, Mr. Beeba, Gax, and Spuckler Boach, are chosen to represent the planet Smoo as intergalactic space patrollers, but must pass the grueling training at the Zarga Baffa Training Camp first.
Fifth-grader Akiko renews her acquaintance with her friends from the planet Smoo when they whisk her away to the Zarga Baffa Training Camp, where she must deal with mud, misery, and a training master who is out to get her.
Akiko, the Earthling hero who helped rescue Prince Froppit of the Planet Smoo, finds herself involved in more not-so-normal adventures when the grateful King of Smoo sends Akiko and her friends on a trip to the planet Quilk.
