About the Book
Marty Milagros is a klutz, a clown, a payaso—and now he's got an AI living in his brain! This epic, full-color sci-fi graphic novel is an #OwnVoices Latinx adventure for fans of Hilo and The Last Kids on Earth.
Twelve-year-old Marty Milagros is used to getting in trouble. Little does he know, his upstairs neighbor, Mr. Albert, is secretly a galactic scientist defending the planet from alien invaders—with an AI built to keep Earth safe. Then Marty accidentally downloads it into his own brain.
Now, with the help of his friends Alex and Mia, Marty has to stop the aliens. Can Earth's WORST defender overcome his self-doubt and save the world before he loses Mr. Albert for good?
Suit up with Earth's most unlikely hero—the planet is counting on him!

Perfect for students who are still trying to adapt and figure out where they fit in. Recommended.
(Publishers Weekly, Publishers Weekly)
“This engaging, imaginative comic is a great choice for sf-loving kids who struggle with self doubt. The realistic digital art and bilingual dialogue here and there nicely ground the story in a contemporary setting that will be familiar to plenty of tweens.”
