First in a brilliant series perfect for fans of laugh-out-loud adventures like Bunny vs Monkey and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
D.J. and his friend Gina are totally normal kids. Until a mysterious boy comes crashing down from the sky and nearly blows up their club house!
Hilo doesn’t know where he came from, or what he’s doing on Earth (or why going to school in only your underwear is a bad idea!) but he’s starting to think he might not be the only alien to have crash-landed on our planet.
Can the trio unlock the secrets of his past? Can Hilo survive a day at school? And are D.J. and Gina ready to save the world?

It is very funny, and there is a lot about space and robots in it.
This was very funny and had good illustrations and descriptions of characters. There was not a very distinct storyline.
Funny because Hilo thought that aaah was a greeting
Not much happened but it has a good story line.
i think it was funny and interesting.
Best book ever
I liked the Rant. Hilo is my favourite character because he's the coolest and can shoot lasers from his hands and fly! He's a robot! I'd recommend these comics to six year olds who are always excited.
I like the main character Hilo because he always saves the day like a real hero. I would recommend this book series to my friends. I read it in one day!
I liked it because Hilo crashed to earth.
I recommend it because it’s fun to read.
Incredibly funny. I loved D.J. he was my favourite! I would recommend it to people who love funny books 📚.
I liked this book because Hilo is very funny and I like what they do.

Loved it. Definitely want to buy this for the school Library and read the next one. 📚 🤖

Outstanding
hilo is very funny and I like gina
My favourite character was Hilo (the boy who crashed to Earth), he is my favourite character in the story because he's no ordinary boy in fact he is a robot that came through a portal to get to Earth for the first time.
I would definitely recommend this book to someone else, because as soon as you start reading this amazing, adventure story you'll get sucked into an action packed journey through the universe.
I liked that Hilo and the children were saving the planet. Hilo crashed to earth. ig monsters came and we’re destroying the earth. The children helped rebuild the world by growing new plants from seed.
I really like this book! My friend recommended it to me and when I tried it was amazing I really liked it because it had a lot of good illustrations so it was fabulous
I like this story because it was fiction and I like fantasy things like fake battles that never really happened but I called to read about. My favorite character was Hilo because he has magical powers. I would only recommend this to someone if they like fake battles like me.
I liked this book because the boy Hilo randomly came out of the sky
I like Hilo's silver underpants!!!
Hilo left his toe
It was a wicked little book. Fun to read and I would recommend.
Hilo was my favourite character because he shoot laser beams and can jump really high.
This book is fiction. Hilo crashes to each from his home planet, made friends and has some adventures.
I like all the characters, they’re really funny.
I would recommend this book and am going to read the rest of the series.
My brother is reading this next.
I thought this book was very funny because Hilo literally crashed to earth wearing silver underpants. Hilo is a robot from outer space and DJ and Gina are human children who makes friends with Hilo.
My favourite character was Hilo because he was the funniest and says Aaaaargh all the time!
I would recommend this book to all my friends.
Exciting, Hilo nearly ripped up a massive robot that would destroy the planet! My favourite character is Hilo because he can fly and shoot lasers from his hands!
D.J is my favourite character because he helps Hilo. I would recommend the book to people who like comics, and adventures.
It was funny for a person to crash to earth and someone from out of space was really bizarre. My favourite part was the money box elephants!
This book was really strange - also, at the end it has a really funny bizarre ending which makes you say "whaaaaaaat??"
There is a great cliffhanger ending - I've already ordered the second story!
