| book description |

Now in paperback! The second book in the laugh-out-loud series by children's literature legend Jon Scieszka. ""[I]n true Scieszka style, the majority of the book is a joyful exploration of what he does best—make the known seem absurd and the absurd seem perfectly reasonable. A funny, ridiculous journey into space infused with a thoughtful ecological message."" —School Library Journal AstroWolf, LaserShark, SmartHawk, and StinkBug are ready for a new mission to find a planet fit for human life after we've finally made Earth unlivable. When they splash-land on the Water Planet, they find power-hungry clams, a rebellious underwater force, and a world full of too-good-to-be-true. Can this aquatic world really be humans' new home? And why are these clams so eager to swap planets? The AstroNuts series continues “with all the same punchy puns and visual panache as its predecessor. Scieszka skillfully weaves facts about climate change and environmental and social commentary into his jet-propelled zaniness, bringing a subtle undercurrent of relevance into a seemingly goofy tale. . . . A high energy follow-up proving silly can still be smart.” —Kirkus Reviews
