Aspiring author Booker returns in another humorous slice-of-life story. As he works on a science fiction novel, "Space Cat: Alone in Space," Booker worries about his increasingly melancholy grandfather and grapples with jealousy when his best friend becomes the surprise star of the school writing club. The episodic plot covers a lot of territory but comes together for a satisfying conclusion.
