Book Review
A funny and heart-warming story which represents peace and shows that everyone is welcome on earth, we are one big community who help each other, human or not.
Neilia, George and Bash are quite literally the worst band in the world, even their parents hate their music. It seems so ear splittingly awful that I didn’t even dare to imagine it!
They are excited to participate in the battle of the bands, but, when the day approaches, they are sucked into space. To get back to earth, they must first defeat all other bands in the UNIVERSAL battle of the bands. Stakes are high because if they don’t win, earth will be eclipsed and destroyed forever. Can they stop mighty megavolt in the Gravity Gamble and save the earth?
While George hates school and Bash is a space enthusiast, Neilia was my favourite character because she is so clever like me.
I would recommend this imaginative book to anyone who needs a bit of rock in their life or are space fanatics.
