3 Books in 1 makes this book a stupendous value. In the first book, Hud and The Maniac Jack discover an alien device that opens the galaxy to them! Space isn't a safe and cozy place, however, and becoming heros to an alien girl has a huge cost! Book 2 has Hud living out that cost while HUD explores the galaxy and a restored relationship. Book 3 brings Hud and Jack back together to save... everything!
Me and the Maniac in Outer Space is a wild ride that forces adult decisions on teenage boys, then forces them to play them out. Appropriate for middle graders, it's also enjoyable for young (and older) adults. The reading level increases from book to book, encouraging young readers to steadily improve their reading in a story they love.
