Synopsis

Middle school in space! An alien dog! A mad scientist! Hundreds of illustrations! Sci-Fi Junior High is galactically good! James Patterson presents a hilarious space adventure featuring an average human kid getting into a universe of trouble.

Kelvin is the new kid at Sci-Fi Junior High -- a floating space station filled with alien kids form across the universe. And he arrived just in time for the annual school dance: The Galactic Get Down!

Kelvin is desperate to take luminous Luna (her species literally glows), but now that his secret about not being a Mega Supergenius is out, Kelvin doesn't have a shot. He has to think of a way to become super cool so everyone forgets he lied about his average intelligence . . . cue mad scientist Erik Failenheimer's escape from his asteroid prison, an army of Pinions (any similarities to the MinionsTM is purely coincidental), and a battle to save Sci-Fi Junior High from imminent doom. Let's dance!

"Saving the universe has never been so much fun!" -- Gordon Korman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of 39 Clues and Masterminds on Sci-Fi Junior High.

Goodreads review by Mehsi on March 22, 2018

The second book in the Junior High series, and so much better than the first book. This was mostly due to the fact I just knew there was going to be an annoying villain, so when his parts popped up I just tuned out. The words being read but not being processed. :| I had way more fun trying to see wh......more

Goodreads review by Mark on March 30, 2018

My name is Kelvin, and my eighth grade year is not starting off well. My klutziness is giving me more embarrassing nicknames than I can handle, and I'll have another chance to make a fool of myself at a mandatory dance. Plus, my four-year-old little sister is a genius and will be coming to my school......more

Goodreads review by Daisy Bryant on November 09, 2024

A brilliant mix of suspense, emotion, and creativity. The characters were vivid and the plot was wonderfully intricate. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t put it down. The ending was both satisfying and surprising. It’s a masterclass in storytelling and well worth the read.......more

Quotes

Praise for Sci-Fi Junior High: Crash Landing:

"Corny jokes, wacky high jinks, a supervillain bunny, and engaging illustrations keep the pages turning.... Wacky out-of-this-world fun."—Kirkus Reviews

"Black and white illustrations...give Martin and Seegert's work the accessibility of a beginner's graphic novel and provide an extra punch to the fart jokes and wordplay this story thrives on. ... Overall, this is a funny take on middle school that strikes a chord closer to home than its intergalactic setting."—Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books

"More riotous high jinks on the high frontier."—Booklist

Praise for Sci-Fi Junior High:
A 2017 Parents' Choice Award® winner!

"A diverse crew of extraterrestrial life forms [are] amusingly brought to life in Martin's comic panels.... Echoes of comic books, Star Wars, and 1950s sci-fi classics resound."—Kirkus Reviews

"Easily digestible segments, [and] sheaves of cartoons...are interspersed throughout the text, boosting the comedic action into even higher orbit. A crowd pleaser."
—Booklist

"A fun [...] extraterrestrial adventure.... Punchy black-and-white spot illustrations and comics sequences appear throughout, playing up the slapstick humor."—Publisher's Weekly

"It's a classic trope executed so funnily that it manages to seem fresh. Amusing black and white illustrations pepper the text. There's plenty here to warrant another outing with Kelvin in a sequel."—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"SCI-FI JUNIOR HIGH is packed with not just galactic-scale laughs, but also genuine middle-school appeal. Saving the universe has never been so much fun!"—Gordon Korman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Masterminds, Swindle and The 39 Clues
