The second book in this interstellar adventure series, perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Artemis Fowl.
You can’t cry in space. But I was giving it a good go.
After all, I’d just been THROWN OUT OF AN AIRLOCK by a horde of ALIENS and had about three minutes left to live. So you can’t blame me for trying.
But as it turned out, that was just the start of my adventures . . .
Because very soon it became clear that if I was ever going to get back home, not only would I have to NOT DIE, but me, my friends and our floating robot goldfish would have to SAVE THE WORLD. No, scrap that. THREE WORLDS. All at the same time.
Easy, right?

Timothy Top is a grade school kid going through a hard
time. His parents are constantly quarreling, and he's feeling like an outsider
among his classmates. His fascination with nature and superheroes makes for an
unusual combination that few of his peers can relate to. But when a crooked
businessman moves into the neighborhood with plans to “reinvent the local
park” into a concrete monstrosity devoid of nature and life, Timothy sets
out on a mission to save a famous tree from the bulldozers. Being just a kid, he
doesn't know how he'll be able to go about this, until one night he discovers
that he's been given the power of a magical green thumb that can heal and grow
plant life! He's a superhero! But will he be able to use this power to save the
park or the relationship between his parents?
A
simple tale but with many layers, this first volume supports respect for the
environment, as well as dealing with bullies, quarreling parents, and school
expectations. Future volumes tiptoe into other topics such as discrimination,
forgiveness, and commitment.
