How to Save the Universe in Ten Easy Steps
The whole universe is at stake in this comedy about a ten-year-old boy and his battle to prevent the end of life as we know it.
Cooper can't believe that he and Molly are related, let alone twins. They are so different! He loves junk food. She calls it empty calories. He likes to crack jokes. She was born without a sense of humour. He's busy making plans for his gross-out tenth birthday party while Molly would rather take their dog, Jack, for a healthy walk.
Their differences don't make sense. Until Molly tells him she's an alien who has been sent to protect Cooper and help him fulfil his destiny because one day he's going to save the universe. Cooper thinks Molly must be setting him up on some kind of prank TV show. Maybe she's got a sense of humour after all?
But then intergalactic bounty hunters arrive in Peregrination (population: 203) and strange things start happening to Cooper. Either he's crazy or he really is in danger. And if he is in danger, so is the universe ...

When Cooper discovers his twin sister is really an alien sent down to protect him, he is gobsmacked. No wonder they are so different - but protect him from what? He learns that he has the power to save the entire universe including Earth and everyone he knows.
But he has no idea how he is going to do that.
This is a hilarious story with weird sisters, talking dogs and a strange crack in the hallway wall....

This was an amazing book as if you absolutely LOVE science fiction like I do, then this is the perfect book for you.
The only problem with his book is that it's a bit repetitive, but who cares! That is the only reason why I give it 4 stars, and not 5.
