This is book two in a space school series. In the first one our MC John accidentally gets taken to a fantastical school in outer space, after being mistaken for a Martian.

This book picks up from the adventures in the first, with the same cast of characters and a new adventure.

This was a super easy read, I picked it up on my kindle and read it all in one day.

What I didn't like - I didn't necessarily 'not like' it, but I do think the big main battle was over way too quickly. It felt like we were building up to it for ages, and then it was kind of just over in a few pages.

There was a scene with students learning how to operate new spaceships, and the main antagonist was being his antagonistic self and didn't get into trouble. I mean it's not that bad, but it bugged me that the teacher didn't know, or the main ship couldn't have just told teach what actually happened. What's the point in technology if you're not going to use it?! It's like referees not using goal-line technology!

What I did like - On the flip side to that, I did like the planet they were on, it was a really cool concept, a 'museum planet' that holds all the epic important artefacts and events that have happened throughout the whole of the galaxy. Sounds like a great place to visit!

I also like the fact that John still talks to his parents, and has to keep them in the dark about what boarding school he's actually attending!

I have already read Crash Landing so I am happy to read this too.

Great fun. Original and innovative. Alien fun for all ages.

Love the museum planet, but Animorphs has really spoiled me in regards to ethics in kids’ sci-fi. John had no problem with possibly killing aliens in that battle, and then the headmaster literally shot a guy into space to die. Especially when the author is clearly going for a Dumbledore-type figure, that’s an insane move.

What a great 2nd book to the series. John is a hero, but it's never just him. It is also his friends and he always gives credit. Fantastic story!

This is the 2nd book in the Hyperspace High series. It is a solid option for kids looking for sci-if and action books. It is also something that a Harry Potter reader might enjoy ... If they can venture into space. This sequel adds on nicely to the 1st book. The characters and their friendship is developed a bit more. This series is a fun read. Because of the physical format of the book, pages are turned quickly, making it a good suggestion for reluctant readers.

I didn't think this was as good as Crash Landing; the first in the series.
