Bookroo's summary
Sam, as Bumblebee Boy, loves solo adventures battling imaginary foes. But when a swarm of aliens invades the moon, his little brother Owen wants to join the fun. Lacking a cape and mask, Owen is initially sidelined. As the alien threat grows, Sam must decide if he can conquer them alone or if teaming up with Owen is the key. Through their imaginative journey, the brothers learn the value of cooperation and the joy of shared play. Will Bumblebee Boy embrace his brother's help in time to save the day?
From the publisher
From the creators of the New York Times bestselling Ladybug Girl series comes a story about sibling cooperation and play featuring a member of the Bug Squad, Bumblebee Boy!
When Sam is Bumblebee Boy, he likes to fly alone, using his imagination to battle dragons, pirates, and tigers. Sam’s little brother, Owen, would like to play with him, but Owen doesn’t have a cape or a mask, and Bumblebee Boy doesn’t need his help. But when more aliens than Bumblebee Boy can handle land on the moon, will he be able to defeat them by himself?
Through their imaginary adventures, Sam and Owen discover just how much fun a brother can be, and learn that there are times to play alone and times to play with others.
