STAR SCOUTS GN (2025)

"Avani is the new kid in town, and she's not happy about it. Everyone in school thinks she's weird, especially the girls in her Flower Scouts troop. Is it so weird to think scouting should be about fun and adventure, not about makeovers and boys, boys, boys? But everything changes when Avani is 'accidentally' abducted by a spunky alien named Mabel. Mabel is a scout too - a Star Scout. Collecting alien specimens (like Avani) goes with the territory, along with teleportation and jetpack racing. Avani might be weird, but in the Star Scouts she fits right in. If she can just survive Camp Andromeda, and keep her dad from discovering that she's left planet Earth, she's in for the adventure of a lifetime."

"Avani has found the one place in the universe where she fits in: Star Scouts, a cosmic scouting troop. Among this ragtag group of intergalactic scouts, Avani can really be herself. And now that her new (human) friend, Jen, has joined the troop, things are better than ever. (For Avani, that is; Mabel, her alien best friend, isn't too happy about it.) During a troop meeting, Avani receives an invitation to join a secret society of elite scouts known as the League of Lasers. She is eager to join their ranks, but first she must survive her initiation challenge. Stranded on an uncharted planet, Avani has to contend with the methane atmosphere, hostile frog-like inhabitants, and her dwindling supplies of food and water. But even worse: her arch nemesis, Pam, is stranded there, too!"

"The third and final volume of a rollicking sci-fi adventure series about a young girl who becomes inducted (or rather abducted) into a cosmic scouting troop. After an epic feud, Avani has finally made peace with Pam, her one-time nemesis from a rival Star Scouts troop. Avani's bestie, Mabel, isn't too pleased about their budding friendship. But they'll all need to get along to overcome their next challenge: the invasion of planet Earth! An army of scuttlebots is descending on Avani's hometown. These robots cause mayhem by spreading gossip, and they have a major tactical advantage: They're able to disguise themselves as boxes of Flower Scout cookies! (Did we mention Avani's dad just ordered fifty boxes of Skinny Mints?) "
