Jacob Wonderbar and the Cosmic Space Kapow

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by C. S. Jennings. Middle-schooler Jacob Wonderbar is used to getting in trouble. When he trades a corndog for a spaceship, his opportunities to wreak havoc expand astronomically. He and his friends mess up the Milky Way and end up on a planet populated by teachers. There's plenty of humor throughout for reluctant readers. A subplot about Jacob's missing father suggests a sequel will follow.
