Overview
In this high-interest accessible novel for middle grade readers, a fourteen-year-old activist must participate in an intergalactic game show in order to unlock the secret to an alien planet's clean energy technology. Fourteen-year-old Meg knows aliens are real. Everyone does. But she's not happy with them. Extraterrestrials landed on Earth twenty years ago and took off fast. They didn't leave behind advanced science or miracle cures. Instead, they delivered an alien reality TV channel. Beamed to the whole galaxy, Planet Perfect is Earth's obsession. But no Earthling has ever been invited-until now. Meg wants to fight climate change, not play games. But when she is one of two Earth teens invited to Planet Perfect, she agrees to go. Planet Perfect makes its own clean energy with zero waste. Such knowledge could save Earth. Meg needs to stay in the competition so she can figure out this technology. But the show is harder than expected. The host demands almost impossible tasks with lots of drama. And when Meg finds out that Planet Perfect has a secret that threatens Earth, she realizes she has to win to prove her planet deserves a seat at the intergalactic table. Characterized by exciting, fast-paced plots and age-appropriate themes, Harbor's Hi-Lo books are both engaging and easy to read. Short chapters, simple sentence structures, and an accessible format make these books perfect for tween reluctant readers.
