6 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
After battling deadly space piranhas in Sector 7 of theCosmos, Rocket and Groot crash-land on a planet made entirely of strip malls!There are dry cleaners, nail salons, 99 cent stores, 98 cent stores, chain restaurants, and maniacal robots bent on customer service. Sounds like paradise, right?Wrong. It doesn't take long for Rocket to discover that the place is infestedwith raccoon-eating toilets! That's right. KILLER toilets! Badly injured fromthe piranha fight, the totally-butt-kicking-duo have no ship, no guns, nomoney, no food, no water . . . BUT . . they have each other. Oh, and Veronica, the totally awesome super-intelligent tape dispenser!! (She told us to saythat).Told through the eyes of Rocket, STRANDED ON PLANET STRIPMALL features simple black-and-white drawings throughout, as Rocket uses aspace stylus to express his adventures, visually, while Veronica, their spacerecording companion, lays out the adventure in text! Granted, the drawings aredone by a space Raccoon with a bad attitude, but what would happen if he gaveGroot a shot to draw an adventure they had been on? What would we get? We'llfind out in the final chapter!

Randomly found this at the library and got it for my son. He loved reading this one out loud to me (amid a lot of giggles and belly laughs!). He loved the Origami Yoda series by Angleberger, and now he's an even bigger fan of the author since Rocket and Groot are his favorite characters from Guardians of the Galaxy. But now his favorite character from the book is the totally awesome tape-dispenser, Veronica (tm).

So this was an interestingly fun book. Rocket and Groot are on their own adventure. They get trapped on planet Strip Mall after escaping Space Piranhas. If it wasn‘t for their lucky tape dispenser they might be in for a world of trouble. This is what happens when you cross Captain Underpants, Wimpy Kid, and Marvel. It‘s a fun ride for kids and marvel fans of any age.

BookInMyHands Ooh! This one wasn't on my radar. I'll be getting it for my library, thanks! 8y
LibrarianRyan @BookInMyHands I want to say it came out last January. We had angleburger on standing order and it just showed up. But I checked last month looking to see if there is a sequel and it's not on his website. (Yes there is a sequel). 8y
Qemorio I need to get this one for my son. He would love it. 8y

This was a fun book. Take wimpy kid and cross it with Captain Underpants, then hand it to Marvel and this is what you get. Lots of toilet humor.

So technically I showed you all I was #givingasgifts to my nephews last week. This one will also be a gift, I just do not know where yet. #12daysofxmasphoto
