[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches from Outer Space!" by I.S. Noah.]
"Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches from Outer Space!" by I.S. Noah is a humorous book that combines action, satire, and science fiction. This novel is about four kids who find a spaceship hidden in the forest, and the funny and crazy things that happen next.
The plot starts with Violet Wilson, a self-proclaimed terrible babysitter, who takes her brothers and best friend on a hike. The discovery of the spaceship and the decision of six-year-old Willys to eat the peanut butter and jelly sandwich inside it set off a series of unpredictable events. The story is full of surprises, mixing outer space mystery with down-to-earth concerns freshly and engagingly.
One thing I liked about this book was its humor. The author writes with great dialogue and funny situations that will make readers laugh. The political satire is sharp and humorous. It makes fun of contemporary political antics in a way that is easy for younger readers to understand.
The characters are funny and relatable. Violet's worry and determination to protect her brothers, Brad's fears about alien parasites and superpowers, and the dynamic between the children all feel authentic and engaging. Also, there are action scenes that are well-paced and imaginative, keeping the readers excited.
I rate "Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches from Outer Space!" 5 out of 5 stars, and the reasons are above. There's nothing I disliked; I liked everything! I found a few grammar errors, but they're not annoying. It is a fun, engaging read that blends humor, action, and a touch of political satire into an entertaining story.
I recommend this book to middle-grade readers who enjoy humorous and action-packed stories, as well as two parents and teachers looking for an engaging read to share with children. It's also a great pick for anyone who appreciates good-natured satire and enjoys seeing everyday situations spiral into the fantastical and absurd.
