A note for parents
This is a humorous sci-fi adventure by the creator of The Bad Guys, designed for middle-grade readers with an absurdist premise (an intergalactic game show, talking axolotl). The tone is playful rather than dark, with mild peril appropriate for the age group. The protagonist is an 11-year-old with allergies who must save the world, which emphasizes that kids with limitations can be heroes.
