About this listen
Adam Rubin is back with this companion to The Ice Cream Machine, inviting you into six thrilling new worlds filled with daring and danger, mystery and mayhem—not to mention explosions! In a swanky New York City hotel, a reclusive guest appears to have spontaneously combusted. On a school field trip to a human anatomy museum in space, two kids try to pull off the greatest prank in history. Somewhere on a deserted island, three siblings try to make a life for themselves after the rest of the planet has been decimated by gigantic rock monsters. And then there's the small, quaint fishing town where a boy visiting his sister stumbles across an ancient curse; the traveling circus where a young girl becomes the assistant to a death-defying human cannonball; and the rugged wilderness where one kid with superpowers just can't seem to find some peace.
Put on a helmet and hang on tight, because this unpredictable audiobook will blow you away!
Critic Reviews
Praise for The Human Kaboom:
A New York Times Bestseller
A Read With Jenna Jr. Pick
* "Explosively eclectic . . . While shared humor and a propensity for the outlandish tie the stories together on some stylistic levels, the varying approaches to the [titular] prompt also share an unexpectedly raw depth." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
"Rubin, a humorist with a flair for explosive prose and side-splitting gags, is in good form here: All the stories boast laughs, smart characterization, clever plotting, and explosive incidents . . . The gags are plentiful, the action is exciting, and the variety is commendable . . . Impossible to resist." —Kirkus Reviews
"More than enough entertainment value to light the fuses of readerly—as well as writerly—readers." —Booklist
"A wild and wacky follow-up . . . There’s something for everyone." —TIME for Kids
"You simply can't go wrong with this hilarious anthology." —Girls' Life
"An exciting read filled with variety." —TODAY.com
