Roswell Johnson Saves the Galaxy!

Roswell Johnson #2

by Chris Colfer

Guardians of the Galaxy meets The Land of Stories in this sequel to Roswell Johnson Saves the World! Packed with humor, heart, and action, the second book in this adventure series will take middle grade readers on another epic journey, this time, to save the galaxy!

Something very strange is happening in our galaxy.
 
Roswell Johnson is bored. He’s stuck at home with nothing to do—even after he just saved planet Earth from a Reptoid alien invasion. But while Roswell is grounded on Earth, spaceships are being attacked without a reason, people disappearing without a trace, stars are dying without a cause, and someone has broken the evil General Xelic out of his maximum-security galactic prison. Even The Milky Way Galactic Alliance can’t explain the bizarre phenomena! When Roswell’s beloved grandparents go missing, along with nine elderly residents of an assisted living home, Roswell and his alien friends must reunite to solve the mysteries themselves.
 
Along the way, Roswell discovers new technology that puts our entire solar system in grave danger, and he learns he’s closer to the source of the problem than he ever thought possible.

[Carly Krewitsky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Roswell Johnson is bored. He misses his friends who he met after he saved the world from an alien attack. Roswell's grandparents disappear along with nine residents of a nursing home. Roswell's dad is keeping secrets from him. Roswell finds out that his dad has been blocking his friends from sending messages to him. When Cassi, Stella, and Bleep crash land on earth, they are reunited with Roswell. Xelic has escaped from prison and stars are mysteriously dying. It is up to Roswell and his friends to figure out what's going on. I like Roswell, Cassi, Stella, Nerp, Bleep, Mank, Rob, Curtis, Gram, and Pop. This book has a lot of action and humor in it.

***possible spoilers ****

Roswell misses his father and new space Alien friends. It has been months without any messages. When his dad briefly visits it feels perfunctory.

Roswell finds an abandoned barn and loses his anchors (grandma & grandpa) to Earth. Thankfully, he has a beginning of a plan to save the Galaxy and his family.

The characters are cute. The plot moves quickly. The plot twist wasn't really a surprise but done reasonably well.

Colfer writes with astute summation of culture and people. I would like to read book targeted for adults by him in the future.

Roswell Johnson Saves the Galaxy is the 2nd book in Chris Colfer's Roswell Johnson series. It is the sequel to Roswell Johnson Saves the World, which I read last year. And like The Court of the Dead, by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro, this is another book I counted among the presents I got for my 35th birthday this year, but I got it at a later date, because it was released after my actual birthday. Yes, I did rate Roswell Johnson Saves the Galaxy! 5 stars, whereas I only rated Roswell Johnson Saves the World! 4 stars. As very good as the 1st book was, the 2nd was even better! I loved it!

Mysterious, suspenseful, intriguing! A perfect sequel to the first that pulls you in and takes you captive until you finish the story! Emotional twists, exciting plots, fun characters, edge of your seat story telling... Thank-you Chris Colfer for another wild and amazing adventure full of imagination and heart! ^_^

I don't know how I feel about some of the plot twists, but I loved the book overall. I do wish we had more interactions between some of the characters, but I also feel like the ending has wiggle room for future adventures.
