Bookroo's summary
Gabe Fuentes, an eleven-year-old, becomes Earth's ambassador to the galaxy after meeting a peculiar creature. As he navigates the cosmos, Gabe discovers a looming alien threat targeting Earth and an assassination plot against him. Meanwhile, back home, his undocumented parents face deportation. Can Gabe juggle intergalactic diplomacy and family crises to save both his world and his family? This thrilling adventure takes him from Minneapolis to the heart of the galaxy, where every decision could mean life or death. Will Gabe outsmart his enemies and secure a future for his loved ones?
From the publisher
Gabe Fuentes is in for the ride of his life when he becomes Earth’s ambassador to the galaxy in this otherworldly adventure from the National Book Award–winning author of Goblin Secrets.
Gabe Fuentes is reading under the covers one summer night when he is interrupted by a creature who looks like a purple sock puppet. The sock puppet introduces himself as the Envoy and asks if Gabe wants to be Earth’s ambassador to the galaxy. What sane eleven-year-old could refuse?
Some ingenious tinkering with the washing machine sends Gabe’s “entangled” self out to the center of the galaxy. There he finds that Earth is in the path of a destructive alien force—and Gabe himself is the target of an assassination.
