When Luno's dad FINALLY gives him the responsibility of delivering pizza orders all over the galaxy, Luno is excited, mostly. He knows that delivering pizza is no walk on the moon. There are hostile customers, and there's always the threat of his deliveries being intercepted by Quantum Pizza, the fast-growing chain restaurant that will do anything to put indies like Zorgoochi Intergalactic out of business.
Luno is joined by his best friend Clive, a super-smart, talking clove of garlic, and Chooch, a not-so-smart, talking pizza oven. Their deliveries are often dangerous (try landing on a fire planet) and sometimes frustrating. All Luno wants to do is help his dad keep the family business afloat. He realizes that the owner of Quantum Pizza wants the Zorgoochi family recipe, and only Luno can protect it.
"This is picture-book-creator Yaccarino's first middle-grade novel, and it comes with everything: aliens, robots, time travel, and wormholes are just the beginning . . . Yaccarino's hilarious illustrations are the final delicious topping."

"Plenty of spunk, with some seriously imaginative world-building and wisecracking absurdity."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB)
". . . A good choice for science-fiction fans with a taste for off-the-wall humor."
