Diary of the Galaxy Kid
By Robert Pleasant
When twelve-year-old Yo crash-lands his spaceship in a rural Earth cornfield, he quickly learns that surviving on this strange planet is way harder than navigating the stars. His ship is busted, his tools are fried, and the local creatures-especially cows and chickens-seem to have declared war on him.
Armed with nothing but curiosity, a half-functioning translator, and his trusty alien diary, Yo begins documenting everything about life on Earth: weird foods (what is peanut butter and why does it glue his mouth shut?), bizarre customs (humans go to school for fun?), and the most unpredictable creatures of all-humans themselves.
Things take a turn when Yo meets Max, a curious farm kid who's more fascinated than frightened by the glowing newcomer from the stars. Together, they hatch a plan to fix the broken Galaxipod 3000 before anyone else-especially the suspicious adults-finds out. But fixing alien tech with human tools turns out to be messy, hilarious, and sometimes explosive.
As the days unfold, Yo faces new challenges: keeping his identity secret, decoding human emotions, dodging nosy neighbors, and resisting the urge to zap every farm animal that interferes with his repairs. What started as a crash-landing becomes an unforgettable friendship and the biggest adventure of Yo's intergalactic life.
Told through Yo's diary entries, doodles, and laugh-out-loud observations, Diary of the Galaxy Kid is a hilarious and heartfelt story about friendship, curiosity, and finding your place-no matter what planet you're from.
Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Galaxy Zack, and Captain Underpants, this cosmic comedy will transport readers into a universe of laughter, chaos, and alien charm.
