    Alex wants to spend his summer playing video games, but his parents have other plans.  They’ve built a (babyish)
    jungle gym and set up a play date with nerdy science kid, Herbert.  

    Herbert has spent his summer building a Negative Energy Densifier Suit.  When the suits are worn by the boys on
    Alex’s new jungle gym, they open a wormhole to the future.  Only in this future, aliens called G’daliens have taken
    over.  They all seem friendly enough, except for GOR-DON, who wants the boys destroyed.  Now it’s up to Alex
    and Herbert to save the future.  

    I loved HERBERT’S WORMHOLE.  It’s the perfect blend of cartoons and novel that readers of all ages will be
    sure to enjoy.  The story is fast-paced and reads like an adventure/science fiction novel, but even if you’re not
    typically a fan of those genres, I would try picking this one up.  It’s so full of humor, you’ll be laughing the whole
    time.    

    I would give this to any reader who is looking for something to hold them over until the next DIARY OF A
    WIMPY KID book is released.  Soon, they’ll be asking for more adventures of Herbert and Alex.
