Patrick Griffin's First Birthday on Ith ( Patrick Griffin and the Three Worlds #02 )
The second book in an absurdly funny, middle-grade action-adventure series about a boy's quest to prevent a parallel world from taking over Earth.
After learning Earth is about to be destroyed, 12-year-old Patrick Griffin is on a mission. Under the protection of a powerful griffin, Patrick and his friend Oma travel through abandoned cities on the planet Ith, hiding from the enemy while they work out a plan to overthrow the alternate world's sinister government.
Back on Earth, the gigantic jackalope Mr. BunBun and nine adorable numbats race to warn humans about impending doom. But time is running out. The evil Rex Abraham is back on Ith and will stop at nothing to continue his domination of the Three Worlds.
Breathtaking suspense, elements of science fiction and fantasy, and surprising twists come together in Ned Rust's PATRICK GRIFFIN'S FIRST BIRTHDAY ON ITH, the second book of the page-turning "Patrick Griffin and the Three Worlds" trilogy.
There is plenty of comedy along the way, mostly focused around puns or interplanetary misunderstandings. Under the jokey exterior, though, there's some deep stuff about the way we allow ourselves to be controlled by technology, so the book offers more than just laughs for the perceptive reader.
"Part 'Narnia,' part 'Home Alone.' It wouldn't have shocked me to learn the book had been written by some guy named Lemony Vonnegut." --James Patterson, New York Times best-selling author, on PATRICK GRIFFIN'S LAST BREAKFAST ON EARTH
Target age group 8-12
