Review

This humorous sci-fi adventure features thirteen-year-old Luno who helps his parents run the family pizza business (Zorgoochi Intergalactic Pizza). While still learning how to toss pizza dough and wrestle pizza-toppings that also happen to be (live) exotic space creatures, he is tapped to be the summer pizza delivery boy. In his adventures through the galaxy, he makes deliveries to Planet Fungi (a mushroom planet), meets the Mozzarella monks, and searches for the powerful Golden Anchovy all while avoiding the villain Vlactron and his Quantum Pizza minions. The book has great visual appeal with the cartoon-like illustrations. A great hook for reluctant readers but the pace is a tad slow.

Overall Book Score: good
