Summary: A lot of fun to read! :)
Comment: I borrowed this book from my little brother, not really knowing what to expect. I was really surprised. Despite it's major potential for being the world's cheesiest book series, the Akiko books are really funny and the characters are all fun to read about. My favorite is Poog (the mysterious, purple, and perpetually-floating spherical alien). This book tells the story of the fourth grader Akiko being whisked off to a strange planet to rescue the Prince Froptoppit from his evil captor, Alia Rellapor while accompanied by her new friends Spuckler, Gax, Poog, and Mr. Beeba. Believe me, it's not as corny as it sounds. Akiko On the Planet Smoo would be a great book to read to a 2nd or 3rd grade class. I also highly recommend the Akiko comic books.

Summary: Akiko zooms into all-out action!
Comment: Akiko on the Planet Smoo is a wonderful story about a ten year old girl who is asked to lead a mission to rescue a prince who just happens to be from another planet. The problem is that Akiko doesn't want to be a leader. She is content just to be on the sidelines.
The main characters who make up Akiko's rescue team are very colorful and somewhat eccentric. Spuckler is the swashbuckling, take action type. Mr. Beeba is the scholarly, but very cautious one. Gax is Spuckler's loyal rusty robot. And Poog is the mysterious, floating ball with big eyes.
The story has Jaggasaurs that make Godzilla look wimpy, giant robots that outshine those in Star Wars, huge flying pirate ships, and heart-stopping action that will leave you breathless!
The author and artist, Mark Crilley, does a wonderful job of fleshing out the characters without slowing down all the action. His illustrations throughout the book are simply amazing. Underneath all the action and adventure, Akiko on the Planet Smoo is really about a ten year old girl who discovers the true potential that is inside us all.
A little bit of the Wizard of Oz and a touch of Star Wars make Akiko an exciting read for children and adults. I give this book my highest recommendation!

Summary: A Great Book to Read Aloud
Comment: My 5 year old daughter and I love to read these books together. The chapters are short, the story is silly fun, and it's quite easy to get into character (if you want to add that element of different voices to your story). All in all we're both happily hooked on Akiko!
