4-6Galaxy Games series.
Ty's Japanese relatives name a star for him. Turns out it's actually a spaceship headed for Earth. M'Frozza, an alien, is trying to save her planet's Galaxy Games team from embarrassment, and she recruits Ty to lead Earth's team in the universe-wide competition. Black-and-white illustrations complement the humorous reluctant-reader-friendly plot, but the book is a little long. An author's note about Japanese culture is appended.
