Only You Can Save Mankind – Johnny gets a copy of the latest video game, but the aliens he’s supposed to be blasting surrender and ask for his help to save them from all the players who zap them every day.
Johnny and the Dead – Johnny discovers he can see dead people in a local Cemetery just before the cemetery is to be made the site of a new building project.
Johnny and the Bomb – My favorite – Johnny and his friends travel back in time to the blitz, where he is the only one that knows about the single WWII bombing of his hometown that is about to occur.
These are fun books. The first is the weakest but still a good read. Don’t let the fact that they’re children’s books throw you off. Pratchett doesn’t treat children readers as idiots. In fact, his “young adult” Discworld books are among some of the best in the series.
In short, recommended.
