Too cute!
The Bad Guys #6 has our heroes stuck on the moon inside the alien chamber. The alien has lots of tentacles which have either eyes, teeth, or butts. He used the butts for hands! Hilarious art! Another winner!

The good guys club find out that Dr. Marmalade isn't a Guinea pig but an alien in disguise. They are also being celebrated on earth as the Heroes for stopping Dr. Marmalade's weapon cute-zilla ray. Legs comes up with a plan to hack into an escape pod but before that he gets captured. Mr. Snake wants to just escape leaving Legs behind but one by one they all get captured except for Mr. Snake. Mr. Snake wants to be a hero but he also wants to escape. But he ends up being a hero and saves his friends. They end up escaping but have they escaped into the right time?
This was quite hilarious especially Mr. Snake. Mr. Snake is definitely my favorite. I love his hilarious lines and his smug expressions. I enjoyed this more than the last in the series. As usual art was pretty good.
Mr. Wolf to Mr. Snake - It's so dark. Why is it so dark?
It seems to be getting darker...
Don't you think it's really dark?
Mr. Snake to Mr. Wolf - YES! WELL SPOTTED! IT'S DARK!
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
A COOKIE?
OBVIOUSLY, IT'S DARK.
I laughed so hard at this.

No episódio 6, o Clube dos Bonzinhos enfrenta um extraterrestre que tem tantas bocas como rabos. É preciso dizer mais? Continua irreverente e parva a melhor série infanto-juvenil que alguma vez saiu da Austrália.

The Bad Guys crew - Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark, and Legs the tarantula - return in this sixth beginning chapter-book/graphic-novel devoted to their hilarious (mis)adventures. Squaring off against the invading alien once known as Dr. Marmalade, our heroes learn just what Mr. Snake - whose constant backsliding into villainy has been a theme in previous books - is made of, as he . Despite Mr. Snake's efforts, the companions must flee in an escape pod from KDJFLOERHGCOINWERUHCGLEIRWFHEKLWJFHXALHW (the alien) at the end, and find themselves most unexpectedly transported . What will they do now...?
I can see, after finishing The Bad Guys in Alien Vs. Bad Guys, that Australian author/artist Aaron Blabey still has a few surprise endings up his sleeve, and am a little sad that, having raced through the first six installments of the series in a few days, I will now have to wait some months for the seventh volume, The Bad Guys in Do-You-Think-He-Saurus?! I had the pleasure of meeting Blabey today, at an event at work, and he is every bit as entertaining in person as he is on the page. Apparently there are twenty volumes planned for The Bad Guys series, so there is still plenty of fun ahead! I enjoyed this one - I particularly liked the fact that Mr. Shark was able to pronounce the alien's name - and look forward to the publication of more about these madcap characters and their whacky adventures. Recommended to anyone who has read and enjoyed the first five books about these would-be-good Bad Guys.

They may have saved the world from zombie kittens, but our moon-stranded heroes have to deal with enemy who turns out to be a multi butted alien. They must do what they can to escape altogether and hopefully back home. A- (91%/Excellent)

Когато прочетеш анотацията на тази книга: Същество с безброй зъби и прекалено много дупета ги отвлича един по един - веднага разбираш, че ще бъде истинско удоволствие за едно 6-7 годишно дете да я чете.
Лошите добри момчета попадат в капана на извънземното, което иска да превземе Земята след като направи пухкавите животинчета зомбита. Дали ще се измъкнат, дали ще завършат успешно мисията си?!

Ce carte mai potrivită de Ziua Păcălelilor dacă nu una super-mega-ultra amuzantă din seria Băieții Răi de Aaron Blabey?! 🤭
Volumul 6 (trad. Roxana și Alex Tocilescu) ne duce tocmai în spațiu, unde membri Clubului Băieților Buni dau nas în nas cu un extraterestru cu mult prea multe funduri 👽 Unul câte unul, aceștia sunt luați de câte o fundo-mână 👀 Singura lor salvare e Dl. Șarpe, dar el s-ar cam căra acasă în capsula de salvare 🐍
Pe repede-înainte am dat gata și acest volum, la care am râs cu lacrimi 🤣 Dl. Rechin este absolut hilar cu costumările sale 🦈, Dl. Lup are încredere în toți 🐺, Dl. Pirahna este prima gustare a extraterestrului 🐟, iar Piciorușe se dovedește a fi din nou un geniu al calculatoarelor 🕷️ Zău că trebuie să gustați și voi această serie, este absolut DELICIOASĂ, perfectă pentru copiii de +7 ani, iar limita de vârstă este peste distanța de la Pământ la Lună 🚀

*This review was verbally created by an 8-year-old boy, and transcribed by me*
I didn’t like how creepy the monster-alien was. He had butts on tentacles and they were hands, and it was weird and creepy.
My four favorite characters are: Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha, and Mr. Wolf. I don’t like Legs because I don’t like spiders!
I like the part when Mr. Wolf isn’t paying attention and he’s tangled in the wires and pipes, and it’s really Mr. Shark dressed as the alien.
I also like when they’re in the rocket escaping and they look weird because they’re going so fast.
>< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< ><
From a parent’s perspective.
I didn’t like this one as much as the others. It went back to not really having a lot going on. Which doesn’t always mean a bad thing, just after the last few in the series it’s a bit disappointing.
Mr. Snake is really starting to irritate me. I’m glad he was called out in this episode, because his behavior took a major nosedive.
Even though the kiddo flew through this book — he wants to get them all read before the ninth book comes out — he says this wasn’t one of his favorites although he still “loves them all.”

January 8, 2022Y’all I’m officially attached to the characters. I literally cried over snake being emotionally vulnerable like I’m attached. I love this series so much holy crap. I didn’t expect to be attached to these characters but damn here i am. ALSO TIME TRAVEL ADDITION IM HELLA EXCITED FOR NEXT BOOK

I’m always looking forward to the next book in the series. I never want to put the book down.

Not a fan of aliens or how heavily this book relied on butt jokes. Quality in this series is pestering out...

My first venture into this young reader series. It was funny and the humour totally appropriate to a 7-10 year old.
The bad guys, who don't really seem all that bad, are stuck on an alien ship. Escape is going to be difficult. If they can stick together, they might all get out of it. Friendship plays and important part of this story.
I would happily recommend this series for any young reader.

Read this book with one of my English students because she got it at the library and I thought it was a good opportunity to get her into reading out loud.
She seemed to enjoy it and it has made her more confident in her pronunciation skills. I didn't enjoy it too much, but that is because there are a few too many mentions of alien butts and I'm not really at an age where that is funny.
But it is a great book for kids, and when I was 7 or 8 I probably would have loved it. There is a little lesson on friendship, trust and cooperation which isn't too in your face, so that's cool, too.

Again, read a bunch of times in a short span, we get an alien spaceship caper that has Mr Snake coming into his own and ending with an Aliens riff. Some big time humour and a great ending sending us off into the next crazy adventure. Excellent stuff. My 5 year old chose to buy this for a treat rather than ice cream which says a lot.

The Bad Guys are vanishing! One by one taken away and at the end they suddenly Time-Traveled on 65 Milion BC! Mr. Snake launched the Escape Pod To trick the alien kdjfloerhgcoinweruhcgleirwfheklwjfhxalhw(Marmalade the Guinea pig) and them Mr. Snake wore the alien robot thing and beat Marmalade. But he can hold his breath in space for 9WEEKS.

May 31, 2023Read these books between March-May with my students in first grade. These were a hit with my non-readers and avid readers. I used my document camera to easily project the novel on the promethean board and read.
These are ENTERTAINMENT stories and not a lot of "meat" in the story. It made it an easy example for my students to see what reading for FUN vs. learning looked like.

#DieBullebakke – Aaron Blabey
#Episode6
#RuimtewesensVsBullebakke
#ProteaBoekhuis
Hierdie prettige reeks vir die jongspan, gemik op lesers, veral seuns, vanaf 7 jaar, lees soos ‘n strokiesfilm in vervolgverhaal-formaat, eerder as ‘n tradisionele boek. Daarom word die boeke soos episodes genommer – en hierdie is episode 6.
‘n Kort samevatting vir diegene onbekend met die verhaal tot dusver: Die Bullebakke is Menere Wolf, Bene (‘n tarantula), Piranha, Slang en Haai. In episode 5 was hulle die wêreld se enigste hoop teen die bose Dokter Rupert Marmelade en sy vernietigende wapen, die zoepzilla-straal. Aangesien hy homself egter op die maan bevind het, moes die Bullebakke noodgedwonge ‘n ruimtetog onderneem; die gevolge daarvan word breedvoerig in hierdie episode verklap, maar eindig op ‘n mespunt wat vervolg in episode 7. (En nee, ek gaan dit nie verklap nie !)
Die oorspronklike titel is ‘The bad guys – Episode 6; Aliens vs Bad Guys’ en die Afrikaanse vertaling is deur die ervare Kobus Geldenhuys. Soos wat die geval is met strokiesprente, grafiese romans en fotoverhale, is die teks grootliks beperk tot dialoog en geluide; die volblad-illustrasies vertel die grootste deel van die verhaal. Dis deurspek met ouderdomstoepaslike humor en aksie (vorige avonture sluit selfs botsings met zombies in) en word sterk aanbeveel vir trae jong lesers.
Die fliek ‘The bad guys’ (April 2022) is op hierdie reeks gebaseer.
