Jacob Wonderbar and the Cosmic Space Kapow Read Online Free PDF

star.
    Jacob, Sarah, and Dexter watched the space carnage as their ship raced away. The planet collided into the star with a spectacular blast of white light. It exploded into another star, creating a still larger explosion, and then another, and another, and still yet another and another, brighter and brighter, and as they sped rapidly away, what had once been a light smattering of stars in the distance looked like a streak of spilled milk across the sky.

    Jacob finally found the brakes and stopped the spaceship. They sat in space, watching exploding stars and an unfolding problem of cosmic proportions.
    Stars had exploded. Planets had been obliterated. The sky was streaked with star guts. Jacob, Dexter, and Sarah looked at one another in stunned silence.
    â€œI think we just broke the universe,” Dexter said.

CHAPTER 8
    T he explosions seemed to have stopped, but space was still very bright in the aftermath of the big kapow, and a giant streak of white across the sky sometimes pulsated as the stars settled into a messy new arrangement that Dexter dubbed the Spilled Milky Way galaxy. Jacob ran his hands over his face. The first planet had looked deserted, but he hoped there weren’t any people or aliens or strange men dressed in silver who lived on any of the other planets they had just destroyed.
    â€œWell?” Sarah asked. “What are we going to do?”
    Dexter raised his hand.
    Sarah said, “Um. Dexter?”
    â€œIt’s time to go home,” he said. “Think about how worried our parents are right now. We’ve been gone at least an hour, and who knows how long it’s going to take us to get back to Earth.”
    Sarah said, “Dexter’s right. It’s time to go home, Jake.”
    They turned to Jacob, waiting for his agreement. He thought about his mom and how she must have finished checking the stock markets. She might have even wandered downstairs and realized he was missing. Given the day’s events she probably thought he had run away, and since his mom was not the most composed individual in a crisis, Jacob imagined that the entire neighborhood was currently feeling the formidable wrath of her panic. But then he shook his worried mom out of his head. He had pressing space matters to attend to. He pointed at the cockpit window. “I’m not going home until I’ve spacewalked.”
    Sarah looked quickly over at Dexter, waiting for his reaction. A slow grin spread across his face.
    They jumped up and went scrambling down the staircase and into the hold. “Spacesuits!” Dexter shouted. “We must have spacesuits!”
    Jacob ran into the supply room and saw a huge assortment of space blasters, projectile launchers, and some devilish devices whose purpose he couldn’t even begin to imagine. Dexter and Sarah caught up with him and saw the ideas that were clearly forming in Jacob’s head. “I was kind of hoping you wouldn’t see those,” Dexter said.
    They went rooting through the bins and found plenty of food and supplies, but no spacesuits.
    Jacob ran out of the supply room and into his bunk. He threw open the metal trunk. “Jackpot!”
    He pulled out a spacesuit. It was made of a lightweight material that gave off a soft glow, and was entirely silver except for a white triangle on the chest and orange bands around the shoulders. He also found a clear helmet, orange gloves and boots, and a small gray jetpack that attached with an orange belt. “Here we go!” he said.
    Dexter ran in, saw Jacob’s spacesuit, and opened the other trunk. “My boots are green!”
    They ran into the captain’s room with Sarah, who threw open the great armoire, and said, “Oh, you gotta be kidding me.”
    She pulled out her boots and showed them to Jacob and Dexter.
    â€œWhat?” Jacob asked. “They’re purple.”
    â€œThey’re lavender !” she shouted. “Oh, sure, give the girl the
