Outernet #2

by Steve Barlow, Steve Skidmore

A wild ride through strange galaxies and unexpected adventures. But watch your step -- and don't step in anything gross or smelly along the way!

The Outernet -- a web of intergalactic computer networks linked through Servers on different planets -- is under attack. Our heroes -- including several not-so-clever Earth kids and a meddling cat and dog team -- have in their possession the last Server under Friends' control. The fate of the galaxy is on their shoulders, and it's time to start the quest to save the world, or sit back and eat cheeseburgers.
It's a tough choice, but, luckily, our heroes make the right one. So now, Jack, Merle, and Loaf are on a journey to restore freedom to the galaxy. Look out below!

Read with a tutoring kid. He's really into this series, the first time he's been this way in a series that have no pictures or aren't graphic novels... Very cool.
