Bookroo's summary

Happy Conklin Jr. accidentally sold his family to aliens and opened a black hole in class. Now, his biggest challenge is his grandma, who plans to overthrow the Galactic Emperor. Hap must thwart her scheme to save the universe, but with giant robots and unexpected allies, the task is daunting. Can Hap rally his family and friends to stop her in time?

From the publisher

It’s safe to say Happy Conklin Jr. is the only 10-year-old who accidentally sold his entire family to aliens. And he might have opened a black hole in the middle of class when trying to impress his lab partner. But now he faces the biggest threat of all–Grandma. Hap’s Grandma isn’t like normal grandmas–she’s trying to overthrow the Galactic Emperor to rule over all, and she thinks Hap is her perfect partner in crime. Hap knows he has to stop her to save the universe. But that’s easier said than done, what with giant robots and the like coming after him, and he’ll need the help of his family, friends, and some very unlikely allies to do it.
