Description

After learning Earth is about to be destroyed, 12-year-old Patrick Griffin is on a mission. Under the protection of a powerful griffin, Patrick and his friend Oma travel through abandoned cities, hiding from the enemy while they work out a plan to over throw Ith's sinister government. Back on Earth, Mr. BunBun, a gigantic jackalope, and nine adorable numbats race to warn humans about impending doom. But time is running out. The evil Rex Abraham is back on Ith and will stop at nothing to continue his domination of the Three Worlds. . . Breathtaking suspense and surprising twists come together in the second book of the page-turning Patrick Griffin and the Three Worlds trilogy, a Douglas-Adams-meets-Kurt-Vonnegut adventure for kids!

Reviews

Praise for Patrick Griffin's Last Breakfast on Earth: "There is plenty of comedy along the way, mostly focused around puns or interplanetary misunderstandings. Under the jokey exterior, though, there's some deep stuff about the way we allow ourselves to be controlled by technology, so the book offers more than just laughs for the perceptive reader." --The Bulletin "Clever--and utterly bonkers." --Kirkus Reviews "Imaginative." --School Library Journal "Part Narnia, part Home Alone. It wouldn't have shocked me to learn the book had been written by some guy named Lemony Vonnegut." --James Patterson, New York Times-bestselling author "A terrific read, magic really, an adolescent book for adults, an adult book for adolescents, a funny, wise, enthralling romp from fist page to last . . . So much better than Harry Potter" --Peter Quinn, Author of Hour of the Cat
