Synopsis
Akiko, the Earthling hero best known for helping rescue Prince Froptoppit of the Planet Smoo, has been back on her home planet for several months now. She’s just started fifth grade and has been made leader of the school safety patrol. But Akiko’s not-so-normal adventures start up again when the grateful King of Smoo sends Akiko, Spuckler Boach, Gax, Poog, and Mr. Beeba on an all-expenses-paid vacation to the planet Quilk–home of the Intergalactic Zoo!
Wonders abound at the zoo. There are so many creatures of every shape, color, and size wandering around that it’s hard to tell the difference between the animals and the visitors. Then the zookeeper takes a special interest in Akiko, and she is added to his personal collection! Will Akiko and her friends find a way to escape from this nightmare vacation?

Review
Earthling (or Earthian, as residents of Planet Quilk would have it) Akiko has just entered fifth grade, is the head of the school safety patrol, and is settling into life on her home planet after the past year's wild space adventures (Akiko and the Great Wall of Trudd, Akiko in the Castle of Alia Rellapor, etc.). Of course, she should know by now there's no rest for the weary interplanetary heroine. When her old pals Spuckler, Poog, Gax, and Mr. Beeba show up in a spaceship behind the school Dumpster, offering her another adventure--this one's just a vacation, they promise--what's a girl to do? Soon they're off to see the amazing creatures in Planet Quilk's Intergalactic Zoo. Unfortunately, their giant, seemingly gracious zookeeper host has a dirty trick up his sleeve, and Akiko may soon become the zoo's prized display.
Fans of Mark Crilley's Japanese anime-inspired series will be thoroughly satisfied with the triumphs and near misses in Akiko's latest escapade; her once-shaky self-confidence is growing by leaps and bounds, too! (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter
