Review by Booklist Review
Book two in Kloepfer's Galaxy's Most Wanted series picks up with the STEM camp heroes TJ, Warner, Kevin, and Tara fresh off their defeat of alien fugitive Mim and his earth-destroying plot only to find themselves facing an invasion by hordes of his cronies. The action never pauses as the foursome, known as the Extraordinary Terrestrials, races to undo the initial damage done by the freeze rays of the invading alien armies and prevent the rest of the world from being converted into mind-controlled zombies. Guided by Kylk, an alien cyborg cop they accidentally shot with a shrink ray in book one, the team members work together to find the one person who may be able to help them: a comic-book writer, who has mysteriously disappeared from his Colorado home. Goofy illustrations reinforce the zaniness of this lightning-fast read, which concludes with a perfect setup for the next installment.--Szwarek, Magan Copyright 2010 Booklist

Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 4-7-Readers are in for some close encounters of the zany kind. In the series opener, Kevin Brewer and his friends got more than they bargained for when a communication device they created to contact aliens resulted in their inadvertently summoning an alien fugitive to Earth. In this latest installment, tons of other alien criminals are on their way, and there's plenty of action in store for the foursome. A quirky, fast-paced read, ideal for sci-fi fans and reluctant readers alike. (c) Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Review by Horn Book Review
In the series-starter, thirteen-year-old Kevin and his science camp friends defeat the alien outlaw Mim. Dorkness immediately follows the events, as Kevin's team of fellow campers (a.k.a. "the Extraordinary Terrestrials") now must prepare to battle Mim's friends who have come for revenge. The sci-fi nerd humor and accompanying black-and-white cartoon illustrations will entertain reluctant readers; both volumes end with a cliffhanger.

Review by Kirkus Book Review
Earth is again in danger from the galaxy's most vile criminals. Can the team of STEM summer campers called the Extraordinary Terrestrials save all?In series opener Galaxy's Most Wanted (2014), Kevin, Tara, TJ, Warner, and their unfortunately shrunken friend, extraterrestrial cyborg cop Klyk, trounced outer-space criminal Mim, whom the kids inadvertently called to Earth with the galactoscope they invented. Now, Mim's cronies, Zouric and Nuzz, have arrived. After freeze-bombing the camp, they set about taking over the planet with nanotech mind control. The kids escape but soon lose their new ally, Marcy, recruited from the girls' soccer camp next door. Can they escape a brainwashed army of reptilian soldiers, find their comic-book-writer idol (who presciently creates comics detailing the dangers they face), and save the world? Kloepfer's second humorous sci-fi adventure turns on the action on the first page and does a good job sustaining it all the way through. Edwards' goggle-eyed, goofy line drawings extend the fun (final art not seen). Readers could actually skip the first book, which was slow to start, and begin here. The satisfying conclusion nicely sets up Volume 3, likely to be a less-terrestrial escapade. Fans of Kloepfer's Zombie Chasers series will find this outing less gross but just as imaginative.Good, loony science-fiction fun.
