Bookroo's summary

Zack and his dad stumble upon an alien in Central Park with a peculiar problem: its spaceship is out of fuel. While mayonnaise solves the fuel issue, the real challenge is reclaiming the ship from the NYPD. As they navigate this intergalactic dilemma, can Zack outsmart the authorities and help their new extraterrestrial friend? Discover the unexpected twists in this cosmic adventure.

From the publisher

When Zack and his dad come upon an alien whose spacecraft is running on empty in Central Park, it’s easy enough to find more fuel. (Mayonnaise!) But retrieving the abandoned spaceship from the NYPD is quite a different story!
