Description
Things are looking up for Tyler Sato (literally!)
as he and his friends scan the night sky for a star named for him by
his Tokyo cousins in honor of his eleventh birthday. Ordinary stars tend
to stay in one place, but Ty's seems to be streaking directly toward
Earth at an alarming rate. Soon the whole world is talking about TY
SATO, the doomsday asteroid, and life is turned upside down for Ty Sato,
the boy, who would rather be playing hoops in his best friend's
driveway.
Meanwhile, aboard a silver spaceship heading for Earth, M'Frozza, a girl
with three eyes and five nose holes, is on a secret mission. M'Frozza
is the captain of planet Mrendaria's Galaxy Games team, and she is
desperate to save her world from a dishonorable performance in the
biggest sporting event in the universe.
What will happen when Ty meets M'Frozza? Get ready for the most
important event in human history-it'll be off the backboard, around the
rim, and out of this world!

Advance Praise
"Complemented by Beavers's comic book-style artwork, Fishbone's
narrative is ripe with kid-friendly humor--i.e., Earth's radio and TV
transmissions are picked up by the toilets on the Mrendarian ship--and
many of the plot twists could be straight from the "what if" imaginings
of a fourth-grade classroom. Though Fishbone clearly sets up the next
book, he gives Tyler enough of a victory to leave readers satisfied."
-Publishers Weekly
"Galaxy Games: The Challengers was such a fun read. I had a great time taking turns between laughing and sitting on the edge of my seat. I loved it."
-James Dashner, author of The Maze Runner
"Tyler is in over his head. M'Frozza is in over her face tentacles.
We're mere hours away from the most important event in human history, so
why on Earth are the spaceship's toilets making such a horrible noise?
For the love of freen! Grab your navigation beacons and prepare for the
gaming arena! With a motley cast of likable yet unlikely heroes, Greg R.
Fishbone's Galaxy Games is laugh-out-loud funny, an intergalactic adventure sure to tickle your cartilage encasement."
