Herbert's Wormhole 3: Aerostar and the 3 1/2-Point Plan of Vengeance, the thrilling and irreverent conclusion to the series that began with
Herbert's Wormhole, which J. K. Rowling called "absolutely wonderful—fast-paced, inventive, engaging, and hilarious."
Herbert, Alex, and Sammi were pretty sure their adventures in the future were over—until they discover that their old nemesis, GOR-DON, has come back to present-day Merwinsville to mess with things. And he's not alone. He is working for an evil genius, perhaps the greatest villain our heroes have yet faced—Sammi's future self, a.k.a. Aerostar, a power-mad, vengeance-fueled tyrant with twisted delusions of superheroism. This 111-year-old was the president of ClemCorp, the company responsible for trashing the Earth, the company the G'Daliens destroyed to save it, and now she wants revenge. And it's going to be up to our heroes to once again don the mantle of the AlienSlayers and somehow try to save the past, present, and future from total annihilation.
Review
“Give this to kids who have moved beyond Captain Underpants but want something just as silly and funny.” School Library Journal, about HERBERT'S WORMHOLE
Synopsis
In the thrilling conclusion to the Herberts Wormhole science-fiction series, the heroes think their days of time-traveling and alien-battling are over. Alex can go back to his video games, Herbert to his inventions, and Sammi to her extracurricular activities. Then they discover that their old enemy GOR-DON is in Merwinsville, along with a mysterious new villain. The trio has to travel through time again to save the present and the future!
Cartoon illustrations add to the thrills and the fun. The silly sense of humor in AeroStar and the 3 1/2-Point Plan of Vengeance will appeal to readers who love Captain Underpants and Tom Anglebergers Origami Yoda series.
