Bob lives 200 years in the future and attends a school in the rings of Saturn. He has a friend alien, Beep, who goes everywhere with him and talks kind of like Elmo. In this adventure they visit the dwarf planet, Pluto, and later, a black hole. The author adds some scientific notes at the end. This is a cute little intermediate with simple plot, language and characters. There is absolutely no attempt to be scientifically accurate in descriptions of space or space travel, but the note in the end includes a few interesting facts about Pluto. The book is illustrated with cartoon line drawings. Not a likely award winner, but not a bad choice for younger kids looking for science fiction. (2018, 104 p.)
