The discovery of a rare, zucchini-colored crayon in an old couch mysteriously deposited at their bus stop propels friends River, Freak, and Fiona into the middle of an intergalactic plot to take over Earth. This debut novel is a successful sci-fi/adventure/fantasy mash-up with well-developed characters, goofy humor, puns galore, and plenty of suspense.
