Bookroo's summary

Zack's world turns upside down when he moves from Earth to Nebulon. Nervous about alien classmates and bizarre food, he fears losing touch with his old life. At Sprockets Academy, he meets Drake, a Nebulite who shares his curiosity. As Zack navigates the peculiarities of his new home, he receives a mysterious surprise that could change everything. What awaits him on this alien planet?

From the publisher

Get to know Galaxy Zack–and his new home planet!–in this start to an out-of-this-world illustrated chapter book series. In Hello, Nebulon!, Zack makes the big move from Earth. He is already nervous about starting school and making new friends, but it only gets worse when he dreams that his classmates are slimy aliens with tentacles, pizza comes covered in gross bugs, and he can never communicate with his Earth friends again! Fortunately, when Zack arrives at Sprockets Academy for his first day of school, he meets and befriends Drake Tucker, a Nebulite boy who also loves to explore and learn about the planets. Nebulon isn’t as awful as Zack’s dream, but there are a lot of differences between Nebulon and Earth, and they make Zack miss his home in Dubbsville, Texas, even more. But things start to look up when he receives a mysterious surprise. What could it possibly be? With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Galaxy Zack chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
