Through a wormhole they discovered in Herbert's Wormhole: A Novel in Cartoons, ten-year-olds Alex, Herbert, and Sammi have traveled to the future and convinced people they are "AlienSlayers." When an actual alien invasion occurs, they must set aside differences and seek out help from their adult selves. The story's absurd humor and frenetic pacing will entertain readers who don't mind illogical time-travel paradoxes.
