Description
The mild-mannered space and time traveller Arthur Dent and his crew must stop the unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit from destroying the universe. Book #3
Quick Summary
Douglas Adams takes readers on a mind-bendingly hilarious ride through space and time, where an ordinary human named Arthur Dent accidentally becomes the universe's last hope against a race of murderous cricket-worshipping aliens. Kids will devour the nonstop absurdity, from sentient computers arguing about the meaning of life to a spaceship powered by "infinite improbability" and a depressed robot secretly craving poetry. If your kid likes Terry Pratchett's witty take on fantasy tropes, they'll absolutely love this sci-fi gem. Ideal for teens 14 and up who appreciate smart humor and don't mind reading a book where the fate of everything hinges on a cricket match.
