Bookroo's summary

Aliens from distant planets zoom to Earth, ready to conquer humanity. With bizarre shapes and a thirst for battle, they seem unstoppable. But Earth holds a surprising secret weapon that could turn the tide. Will the aliens succeed, or will Earth's hidden defense save the day? Dive into this zany, rhyming adventure and discover the unexpected twist that awaits.

From the publisher

Kids’ favorite Colin McNaughton returns with another wild and wacky extraterrestrial tale, suitably featured in a planet-shaped book. “They come from planets near and far – Some big, some small, some quite bizarre.” Moving at the speed of light and looking for a fight, the aliens are back – but this time they’re coming to Earth to conquer the human race! With his zany rhymes and sidesplitting illustrations, the creator of Captain Abdul knows how to keep kids in stitches – especially when they peer into a mirror board and discover that Earth has a surprising secret weapon.
