How to Be a Hero on Earth 5 #2
How to Save the Universe Again
After a very close call with a terrifying government organization in a parallel dimension, John Fitzgerald is hoping the rest of his summer will be a bit more relaxing. Unfortunately, his fellow inter-dimensional travellers have all decided to crash with him in Toronto for a while. As the tension of having seven people and one fat cat in a small house rises, strange events begin make everyone feel that they’re not quite as safe as they had hoped...
Indeed, the evil Ridpath is determined that no gang of kids is going to foil his “inter-planetary environmental correction program” and plans to make sure John and his friends won’t be a problem again. Though John is determined that he won’t go down without a fight, rallying the troops is a little problematic—Goth-girl Delores won’t get out of bed, even to lace up her beloved Doc Martens, and slacker Gus would rather go home to chill in Australia than battle evil again. Still, John knows that there’s a time for playing it cool and there’s a time to pull it together, break through the space–time continuum, and save the universe ... again.

March 18, 2013Reactions: This book's story line starts in a different book called How to be a hero on Earth 5. Both involve travelling to different dimensions and then fighting some sort of ego-scicopath who is trying to destroy one or more planets.
I read the first one quite a while ago, and while I remembered the basic gist of the plot, I definitively was missing in on some detail. In fact, I had forgotten what the main villain tried to do
Anyways, this book is full of more crazy ideas and fun adventures as the gang is thrown from the comfort of a relaxing day at home back to Earth 5 on a rescue mission! John's parents have been kidnapped (more appropriately dimension-napped) But as the call for heros climbs, we find that Delores won't get out of bed and seems to be overly tired. Gus seems to be planning to head back to Australia early, and Nate2 seems to be thinking of the black plague....
It can't be easy to rally the troups, but someone has to.
