(4) 4-6 Patrick Griffin and the Three Worlds series. Illustrated by Jake Parker. Patrick's siblings investigate his whereabouts after his kidnapping from Earth and a subsequent visit from a talking jackalope. This second adventure (Patrick Griffin's Last Breakfast on Earth) takes off from there, switching both worlds and viewpoints multiple times (sometimes confusingly). Advanced technology, a dystopian alternate world, and some truly gruesome villains should keep pages turning, but the humor can feel misplaced contrasted with the impending annihilation.
