Official synopsis Publisher
A hilarious new illustrated middle grade science fiction series for elementary school readers and fans of Captain Underpants!
Iggy Loomis is the weirdest little brother ever—and he’s a huge pain in his older brother Daniel’s you-know-what. But when Daniel befriends Alistair, his new next-door-neighbor, Iggy gets much, much weirder. Little does Daniel know… Alistair is really an alien. When Iggy thinks he’s eating Alistair’s candy, he’s actually eating chemically-coated insects. Yuck! Soon Iggy’s DNA starts to mutate, and Daniel and Alistair have to keep Iggy’s new superpowers from manifesting—before everyone gets in trouble.
“Piles on the yuks…. It doesn’t take psychic powers to see how this could be a crowd pleaser.”
