In this sci-fi graphic novel, Bud gets on the wrong bus and ends up at Cosmos Academy, an intergalactic school whose students fear Earthlings. With the help of new friend Gort, Bud devises a plan to return home before the aliens figure out who he is. Action and humor (especially in the characters' facial expressions) are successfully captured in bright cartoon panels.
