Dear Earthling: Cosmic Correspondent

By Pen Avey

Meet Dethbert Jones

Dethbert Jones is your average ten-year-old - only he lives on the planet Crank with his pet chicken-snail, Precious, and his robot best friend Andi Social. When he and Andi join the Space Cadets, a Scouts-like organization, they are totally smooshed at the prospect of going to Space Camp where they'll learn to pilot a real shuttlecraft and disintegrate weapons of mass destruction.

To earn his cosmic correspondent badge, Dethbert begins writing to an earthling - and boy, does he have a lot to write about

Between questions about Earth food, culture, and activities, Dethbert recounts his experiences attempting to avoid his horrible little sister, impress his animal-obsessed crush, and fly a space shuttle.

Misadventures - from hairy ankles to crash landings - abound, but Dethbert's curiosity and enthusiasm can't be crushed, not by anything in this galaxy, anyway
