"Jon Scieszka, the groundbreaking storyteller and
master of wit, brings us a smart and hilarious adventure. AstroNuts doesn't
just break new ground—it breaks outer space! Brilliant." —Dav Pilkey,
bestselling author of the Dog Man and Captain
Underpants series
★ "A
must-have . . . A winning mix of fun and fact-readers will be eager for the
next mission." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
A hilarious tale packed with science, adventure, and a whole
lot of fun! AstroWolf, LaserShark, SmartHawk, and StinkBug are animals that
have been hybridized to find other planets for humans to live on once we've
ruined Earth. In their first exciting adventure, they rocket to the Plant
Planet. Will that planet support human life? Or do Plant Planet's inhabitants
have a more sinister plan? AstroNuts Mission One is a
can't-put-it-down page-turner for reluctant readers and fans ready for their
next go-to series.
POPULAR SERIES: The AstroNuts Mission series
has taken off with starred reviews and lots of love for the first two titles.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The 39-Story Treehouse, Big Nate, Dog
Man, and Captain Underpants.
FUN AND SCIENTIFIC: Each book incorporates STEM elements in
an entertaining way, and readers will recognize quite a few dilemmas the
AstroNuts face from current events on Earth. Teachers and librarians love them
as much as kids do. Space, science, and talking animals: There's something here
for everyone!
GREAT FOR RELUCTANT READERS: Featuring cool topics and
bright art, and relying on visual literacy and minimal text, this is a quick,
easy, and fun read.
