Popular New Yorker cartoonist Paul Noth continues his illustrated middle grade series about a boy, his wacky family, and an out-of-this-world adventure in this laugh-out-loud sequel to How to Sell Your Family to the Aliens.
Happy Conklin Jr. is still the only 10-year-old who has to shave three times a day, thanks to being tested on by his inventor father. And it's safe to say Hap is the only 10-year-old who accidentally sold his entire family to aliens. The good news is that Hap managed to save his family--including his tyrannical Grandma--but now the Conklins face a problem that might put the whole world in danger . . .
Hap wants a girl in his sixth-grade science class to be his lab partner but lacks the courage to even talk to her. Through the mysterious powers of Squeep! the lizard, he finds a way to overcome this fear but also, unfortunately, opens a black hole in his middle school that will swallow the solar system unless he's able to stop it. In his race against time to save everything, he's helped by his sister Kayla, greatly hindered by his sister Alice, and uncovers the truth about Grandma's plan to take over the Galaxy.

"There's never a dull moment in this outlandish romp." - Book Page
"From its very first outrageous sentence, Paul Noth's How to Sell Your Family to the Aliens is hysterically funny. . . . An incredibly imaginative story. Each decision that Hap makes seems to result in greater strangeness and hilarity; it's impossible to predict what will happen from one page to the next." --Foreword Reviews on HOW TO SELL YOUR FAMILY TO THE ALIENS

"Funny, fizzing and forever keeping you on your toes, How to Sell Your Family to the Aliens is a rollercoaster of clever cartoon and pacy plot twists, with some aliens and wrestling thrown in for good measure.

"How to Sell Your Family to the Aliens is hilarious and extremely helpful." --Andy Borowitz, creator of the Borowitz Report on HOW TO SELL YOUR FAMILY TO THE ALIENS
