Review Detail

Buddy Burger is back in the second installment of Alien Superstar, "Lights, Camera, Danger!" by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver. A rising Hollywood star, Buddy is learning to balance his new life on planet Earth all while continuing to hide his true identity. But can that continue with the arrival of Citizen Cruel, a shape-shifting Squadron member from his home planet?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! From start to finish, the humor and action kept me entertained. My ten year old devoured it with me (we listened to the first book which is narrated by Winkler before reading this one), loving Buddy's attempts to hide who he really is. This one has more action than the last with the arrival of another alien which helps to drive the plot. Buddy's naivete when it comes to human customs and colloquialisms add humor and levity. Fun illustrations interspersed throughout the story add to that humor.

Final Thoughts: Lights, Camera, Danger! is a humorous tale of adventure and adapting to what life throws your way, sure to entertain and delight kids of all ages.
