Synopsis

After being teased one too many times, Ignatius MacFarland decides to build a rocket. Maybe extraterrestrials are nicer than his classmates! But when his rocket takes an explosive wrong turn, Ignatius ends up in another frequency run by former English-teacher-turned-dictator, Chester Arthur. Mr. Arthur has taken the art, culture, and advancements of our world, shared them with this new frequency, and convinced the creatures around him that he’s a genius. It’s up to Iggy and Karen, another trapped frequenaut, to expose Mr. Arthur for the fraud that he is – and to hopefully make it home alive. Part comedy, part science fiction, and part fantasy, this debut novel makes being a geek, well, kind of cool.

Originally reviewed at Minnesota Reads. I’ve been a big fan of Paul Feig’s since 1999 and I didn’t know it until the summer of 2008. If you loved the short-lived TV show “Freaks & Geeks,” since Feig created it, you’ve been a big fan, too. If you didn’t like “Freaks & Geeks” (we can’t be friends), you......more
