Akiko and the Journey to Toog — Mark Crilley

“Poog's in trouble.” Just three simple words, but they're enough to launch fifth-grade Akiko and the rest of her crew -- Spuckler Boach, Mr. Beeba, and Gax -- on their next mission. And it just might be their most important mission yet: To save the planet Toog, home of their good friend Poog.

Someone's out to destroy Toog, and only Akiko and the gang can stop them. But first they have to escape from a Toogolian jail cell, zoom through a barrage of exploding drobe mines, and enlist the help of Spuckler's old friend Fluggly Ragstubble -- who's anything but helpful. The clock is ticking and every second counts. Will they win the race against time and save Poog's home planet?
