As soon as Kip lands on a weird planet, the aliens there are struck down by a mysterious sickness. Either Kip is deadly to the aliens, or there's something more sinister going on.
My Year 3 class enjoyed reading it. They liked the interesting vocabulary and descriptions of places and things. They especially liked the bouncy lake adventure. They found the pictures and diagrams useful to help them visualise the characters. They would recommend it for Year 3 and Year 4 students.
