A new planet, a new school

Zack’s move from Dubbsville, Texas, to Nebulon brings two kinds of uncertainty together: the ordinary challenge of starting school and the unfamiliar details of life on another planet. His anxious dream imagines alien classmates, bug-covered pizza, and losing contact with his Earth friends; at Sprockets Academy, he meets Drake, a fellow explorer who helps make the new place less strange. The story pairs a child’s adjustment to a move with science-fiction elements, while illustrations on almost every page and easy-to-read language shape it as an illustrated chapter-book introduction to the Galaxy Zack series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning readers building confidence with chapter books
  • Children interested in planets, aliens, and school adventures
  • Young readers navigating the idea of moving or making friends

Book overview

Get to know Galaxy Zack--and his new home planet!--in this start to an out-of-this-world illustrated chapter book series.

In Hello, Nebulon!, Zack makes the big move from Earth. He is already nervous about starting school and making new friends, but it only gets worse when he dreams that his classmates are slimy aliens with tentacles, pizza comes covered in gross bugs, and he can never communicate with his Earth friends again! Fortunately, when Zack arrives at Sprockets Academy for his first day of school, he meets and befriends Drake Tucker, a Nebulite boy who also loves to explore and learn about the planets. Nebulon isn't as awful as Zack's dream, but there are a lot of differences between Nebulon and Earth, and they make Zack miss his home in Dubbsville, Texas, even more. But things start to look up when he receives a mysterious surprise. What could it possibly be?

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Galaxy Zack chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
