Bookroo's summary

Zack's ordinary school day turns extraordinary when he finds a monster named Al in his seat. Initially frightened, Zack discovers Al's friendly nature and embarks on an interplanetary adventure to Al's world. As Zack meets more monsters, he learns that appearances can be deceiving and that true friendship transcends differences. Will Zack's new perspective change how he sees the world around him?

From the publisher

Zack learns that appearances aren’t everything when he has an up-close-and-personal monster encounter in this chapter book adventure. Zack is shocked when he goes to school one day and finds a monster in his seat! Who/what is this creature? At first Zack is scared, but he soon finds that this monster, Al, is kind and friendly. Zack and Al become fast friends, and Zack goes to Al’s planet and meets all kinds of other monsters. Zack realizes that just because Al looks different, it doesn’t mean that he’s weird or strange. With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Galaxy Zack chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
