Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine in which we share a book that we are eagerly anticipating!
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
Author: Chris McCoy
Release date: April 15, 2015
Synopsis from Goodreads: It’s Superbad meets Spaceballs in this hilarious extraterrestrial road trip!
Just a few days before prom, Bennett pulls off something he never imagined possible: his dream girl, Sophie, agrees to be his date. Moments afterward, however, he watches Sophie get abducted by aliens in the middle of the New Mexico desert.
Faced with a dateless prom (and likely kidnapping charges), Bennett does the only thing he can think of: he catches a ride into outer space with a band of extraterrestrial musicians to bring her back.
Can he navigate alien concert venues, an extraterrestrial reality show, and the band’s outlandish egos to rescue his date in time for the big dance? Fans of King Dork and Winger won’t want to miss this!
Why I’m excited: Dude, what? That synopsis. Yes, please! This sounds hilarious and fun and silly and exactly like something I need to be reading. Sounds a little bit like Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – at least the silly, fun, imaginative, creative, and space-opera-y craziness that’s going on in that synopsis. I definitely think this is something I’ll like.

Yay! I’m super excited for it too.
It does sound wonderfully weird. And anything that can be likened to Spaceballs is worth checking out. Great pick!!

Ha. Right? I need this one NOW. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! Heading to check out yours now.
Whoa, definitely agree on the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy similarity — you know I was sold the minute I read it :b I think the book will be really different from any book I’ve ever read, so it better be good especially since it promises to be a LOT of fun! Oh, and the cover looks ridiculously amazing!
Completely agree. I love when a book sounds unique and fun. There are so many books these days that all sounds exactly the same, but not this one! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Lillie!
