Bookroo's summary

Zack is excited to show his Earth friend, Bert, around his new home on Nebulon. But when Bert meets Drake, Zack's Nebulon best friend, jealousy sparks. Drake feels left out as Zack and Bert bond over shared memories. The tension peaks at an amusement park on Cisnos, where Drake is excluded from the fun. Will Zack realize the rift he's causing and find a way to unite his friends? Discover how Zack learns that two best friends can be better than one in this heartwarming adventure.

From the publisher

Zack finds out that two best friends are better than one in this chapter book adventure. Zack is thrilled when he finds out that his best friend on Earth, Bert Jones, is going to visit him on Nebulon. Zack can’t wait to show Bert around the new planet, as well as his new school. But when Bert meets Drake, Zack’s best friend on Nebulon, some jealousy starts to brew. Drake feels left out when Zack and Bert tell stories from Earth and share inside jokes. And he feels even more left out when the three boys go to an amusement park on the planet Cisnos and Zack and Bert go on all the rides…without Drake. When Zack finally realizes how out-of-place Drake feels, he, Drake, and Bert decide to all have fun together. Because, of course, two best friends are even better than one! With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Galaxy Zack chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
