Fun book. My kids enjoyed it. I didn't find it to be anything new and exciting but I'm just happy when my kids are reading.

Star Scouts started strong and just keeps getting better. When Avani and Mabel argue and act out, the consequences are huge but they come clean quickly and work together to save the day. So many middle grade books leave their characters at odds and not communicating for too long, Loved seeing more of Avani’s dad in this one too. Such a sweet funny series.

This series just gets better! In this latest (sob... final?) installment of the Star Scouts trilogy, Avani and Pam continue to evolve from enemies, to frenemies, to friends; something that rankles Mabel, Avani's best friend. I've been putting Star Scouts into the hands of my library kids whenever they ask me for "good graphic novels to read", and every kid has come back thrilled. Give this to your Zita the Spacegirl/Mighty Jack fans.

Thanks to a letter from Pam and Avani, the Star Scout leaders have decided to integrate the oxygen and methane breathers into the same troops. They are starting with Pam and Avani’s troops, mixing up the groups for some community service. None of the other scouts is too thrilled about this, but especially Mabel. In a fit of anger and hurt Mabel accidentally unleashes a robot invasion of Earth while doing community service. Oh, and they are self-replicating, rumor-spreading, planet-conquering robots. Are the Star Scouts up to stopping a robot invasion?

This was my favorite Star Scouts yet. It allowed the Star Scouts and the Flower Scouts and Avani’s dad to team up together, which was awesome. The method of the alien’s initial invasion involves a certain Flower Scout cookie that Avani’s Dad is a wee bit obsessed with and his reaction is HILARIOUS. There’s a great message about friendships knowing no bounds and to not judge others without really getting to know them. There’s also a good reminder to not neglect old friends when you make new ones. There are some great collab scenes and some really funny moments during the Earth invasion. And it ends with a feel-good look at what the future will bring for our favorite Star Scouts. This was an absolutely fantastic space adventure and a great note for the series to end on (because it feels like it is a wrap up, though I’d love to see more in the future). Hand this graphic novel series to those looking for a multicultural cast, fun space adventures, and great lessons on getting along with others who are different from you.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I LOVE this series. This third installment did not disappoint one bit! From Gary the snail (in an alien retirement home no less), to gossiping robots trying to take over the world, to Avani's dad's obsession with cookies, this book is a riot! Great lessons on friendship, people different than yourself, and growing up. The ending is just perfect. Highly recommend to anyone who is sick of pop singers, is involved in Boy/Girl Scouts, or enjoys outer space.

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC! All opinions are my own, unbiased.

The third book in this series offers more character development and relationship building among the Star Scouts. With new relationships, come changing dynamics and Mabel has a hard time accepting Avani's friendship with Pam. Jealousies flare and accidents happen. Avanti and Pam recommend the scout troops be merged and Roger, et. al., accept that recommendation. The two groups - humans and aliens have to work together on projects to earn badges. Though the start is rocky, they learn how similar they are and find ways to work together. The exception is Mabel as she continues to struggle with her emotions. She sets off a chain reaction that could destroy Earth. All of them have to work together to save Avanti's home town. The book ends with a look 30 years in the future.
The illustrations are fun to search for details. Lawrence continues to tell a tale that middle grade readers will relate to. Though they wear all sorts of skin, readers will recognize their own traits and those of others they know.

I love this series and this book is no exception! You definitely have to read the first two books to understand this one but I guarantee you'll enjoy those as well. It's full of adventure, friendship, and teamwork. A great science fiction action story for ages 8-12.

I think this may be the last Star Scouts book. At least it reads like it is. It is time to integrate the Star Scouts. No longer will there be separate troops for the oxygen breathers and the either breathers. They must learn to work together to make the organization a better unit and to better help all species. This book takes a look at how friendships change. When people make new friends, or try to introduce someone new to the group. Some end up feeling left out. I enjoyed this book, and if it is the last one, it ends on the perfect note.

Great final book in the Star Scouts graphic novel series. I would highly recommend this series to kids in grades 3-6 who enjoyed Amulet, Mighty Jack, and Zita the Space Girl.

The latest (and possibly last, based on the postscript?) edition of the Star Scouts series. Fun and engaging and while reading the previous books would help, it isn't strictly required.
