About this ebook
Readers of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Big Nate will love 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.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Much better choices available.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5There were some parts of this book that made me laugh out loud. Here are two of my favorite passages: 1. Alex asks Herbert how his jungle gym turned into a prehistoric jungle."Wormhole," Herbert said.Alex's eyes narrowed. "Call me that again," he said. "I dare you."2. The authors are describing how ugly the G'daliens are:"There is a saying that people say, which goes, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.". The following two pages are blank except for three little crickets down in the bottom right corner, with the tiny words, "Chirp, chirp.". Both of these passages cracked me up, and I found the mix of text and art to be a fun way to break this book up. However, I had a couple of issues with this book. I think it is inappropriate to give the G'Daliens a name and an accent that clearly pokes fun at Australians. I could not help picturing an Australian student feeling uncomfortable and targeted while reading this book. I also had a problem with how much this book glorified video games. There were some points when I thought the authors might be sending the opposite message, but then Herbert, Alex and Sammi saved the world by playing a video game! I enjoyed reading this book, but I think I would be cautious with regard to recommending it to students.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Alex Filby loves video games. But as the summer before sixth grade began, he promised his parents that as soon as he had mastered AlienSlayer 2, he would play outside. Unfortunately, just as he zapped the last Alien Invader, AlienSlayer:3-D! arrived in stores. Alex reluctantly kept his promise however, and even kept the “play date” his mom made with the neighbor boy, nerdy Herbert Slewg. Herbert is an inventor, and he came up with a way to turn Alex’s jungle gym into a time machine. The boys go through a wormhole, and get to fight aliens “for real” in the future. These “G’daliens” speak with an Australian accent (would kids get the joke?), exercise mind control, and exhibit the usual array of menacing evil traits. Needless to add, Alex and Herbert must "zap" these aliens and save the world (and get home before their moms miss notice them missing).I was disappointed with this book. Herbert’s patter was abstruse and confusing. The future seemed to be a bit overdone – The Jetsons on steroids, one might say. The characters, especially the aliens, lacked the slightest degree of complexity. The humans were also way too stereotypical.On the positive side, the book showed imagination, and the drawings were charming. But frankly, I lost interest less than halfway into the book.
