D J MacHale recommends
The Terror in Jenny's Armpit (2024)
(Bonkers, book 1)
Patrick Carman
"The first book in the new adventure series called Bonkers is definitely, well, bonkers. It's a fun and funny sci-fi story that will have you laughing and biting your nails at the same time, which may make it hard to turn the pages. Patrick Carman has done it again!"
In the Red (2020)
Christopher Swiedler
"Hang on to your helmets. Christopher Swiedler takes you on a nail-biting, sci-fi adventure where every page holds unexpected peril for his bold heroes. He makes the impossible seem plausible in a universe where strolling on Mars can be normal, wondrous and at times, terrifying. It will leave you breathless."
Game of Shadows (2017)
Erika Lewis
"One of those thrilling tales you can't put down . . . the perfect blend of imaginative world-building and nonstop action wrapped up in a compelling mystery."
