Gloria is the first human to get into the Cosmic Cadets Academy, and she's determined to make a splash. But on her first day, she realizes it might be harder than she was expecting: she goes to class with the headteacher stuck to her shoe (it turns out some aliens are small and squishy); and then learns that no one in the universe except humans eats with their mouth anymore. But never mind, it's time for Gloria's first mission . . . which turns out to be another disappointment. Her partner, Razz, is a cat-like alien who is way too keen on following the rules and their first missions are SO boring--helping aliens with their groceries and fetching space cats from trees Fed up with following their extremely unglamorous instructions, Gloria goes off on her own mission . . . to find a uni-korn. Little does she know that uni-korns are some of the most dangerous and foul tempered creatures in the universe . . . capable of swallowing galaxies whole. Gloria just might get her wish for adventure . . . if she doesn't accidentally destroy the universe first.
