From School Library Journal Gr 2–5—Willy Maykit's father is a famous explorer who disappeared in the Amazon jungle more than a year ago. Despite that tragedy, the fourth grader wants to be as adventurous as his dad. On a class field trip to Planet Ed, he wanders off, following his father's mantra that there is always something interesting around the bend. Predictably, he and a friend get left behind when the class flees a violent storm. They wait for rescue, which comes in the form of Norp, a green-skinned alien, also left behind during his school field trip the previous week. He saves Willy and Cindy from the monsters that come out at night, but it's only the beginning of their troubles. Meanwhile, Willy's father finally breaks free from his jungle prison. With a snarky narrator, the story is funny and hackneyed in equal measure but pitch-perfect for the age group. The cartoon-style illustrations are amusing and plentiful and will attract reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike. Give this to fans of Jonny Zucker and Ned Woodman's "Max Flash" series (Lerner).—Gretchen Crowley, Alexandria City Public Libraries, VA
Review "The cartoon-style illustrations are amusing and plentiful and will attract reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike."—School Library Journal "Readers new to chapter books and who like to laugh often will most likely find Willy's story peppered with just enough silly humor to keep the pages turning. "—Kirkus "Effortlessly diverse in open, friendly ways...the two stories of bold adventurers headed back toward home are exhilarating. Readers seeking a speedy space thrilled and fans of Trine's other series will be well pleased with this outing."—Bulletin

Good chapter book for young readers By a "Willy Maykit in Space" may be a two hundred page book, but the print is large and double spaced, so it's probably more like a novella than novel. Chapters are short (less than ten pages) and consist of illustrations, some covering the entire page, so a child can read several in one day.My daughter likes these early chapter books, and it's a great way to get her to practice her reading before bed. Here, Willy Maykit, a boy with adventure in his blood, wanders off to Planet Ed with his "pet" Phelps. His crush, Cindy, goes looking for him, and both are stranded. They meet another alien, Norp, who was stranded several days earlier. The android pilot, Max, returns after dropping off the other students, only to crash the starship. They have to search for food, shelter, and hiding places from monsters...yes, the kind under your bed and in your closets. I don't think this should be too scary, at least not considering how they are portrayed.This is a good easy to read book for older elementary and junior high students, and the book feels as though the author is talking to you rather than just telling you a story. There are jokes, imaginative and wild adventures, sci-fi, and best of all, children who find their own solutions to some of their problems, and help from friends when needed.A definite plus - I don't recall any instances of adult or peer bashing, so overall a positive book. Recommended
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Willy Maykit (Will he make it?) By LoriAnnR Definitely for younger kids (recommended for age 7-10). Younger kids will appreciate the silly knock-knock jokes (older kids may find them "not" so silly). The chapters are short and although there are 200 pages in this book, the pages are double spaced, the print is large, and there are ample black and white illustrations to also keep it visually interesting.Willy is a young explorer and he is excited about his school trip to planet Ed. This trip does not go as expected and Willy and a classmate get stranded on this unique planet. What comes next is his adventure to get home which includes befriending aliens and androids and running away from monsters.Will he make it? Your child will have to read the book to get the answer to that question.This story will probably not leave your child clamoring for a re-read but it should be entertaining enough to motivate them to read at least one chapter daily.

Being an 'explorer' doesn't mean you wander off on an alien planet with no equipment or preparation By Silea My oldest child is at the younger end of potential readers of this book, so my perception of it is colored accordingly.Over the course of the book, there are several good lessons to be learned. Be Prepared. Don't assume everything foreign is evil. Plan ahead. Kindness now can pay off later.There are, of course, several less-good lessons as well. Run off on field trips and it'll work out ok/Exploring means ignoring the rules adults set. Eating strange food just because someone else says it's fine won't have any consequences. Someone else will save your backside when you run into a situation unprepared.So, is it an entertaining read? Yeah, it's a good old-fashioned hostile alien planet story. The (inexplicably) hostile aliens are held at bay through a variety of clever ruses and poop jokes. However, several plot anchors seems more like 'teachable moments' than anything else.I'm going to keep this on the shelf for my kids to discover, but if i notice them reading it, i'm going to make sure i get a chance to talk with them about how 'everything turned out ok' doesn't mean 'all of the decisions made were good decisions'.
