Review of "Please Don't Tell My Parents I Blew Up the Moon" on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
What a let down. After the surprise awesome of the first book in this series the tale took an exciting turn as the kids head out into outer space. Except, that is exactly the problem. The dynamic that made this interesting was that of late-middle school kids hiding their villainy from super hero parents, dodging school responsibilities, and getting home in time for curfew. Now with an excuse covering their absence they're galavanting around in space ships with alien technology, planetary wars, and other scary dangers. There's no more kid dynamic at play. There's really not even a secret identity component. Without that it just felt flat.
