    About this ebook

    It's an interplanetary disaster!

    As king of Flurb, Freddy's got it made. Everyone worships him! Well, maybe not everyone. Not Deathsnail, Chewtyke, and Big Bad Wongo—the vicious leaders of nearby planets—who want to publicly pulverize him. Not his scheming sister, Babette, who can't stand being ruled by him. And certainly not the superjealous Wizbad, who will stop at nothing to knock Freddy from his throne!

      Freddy! Deep-Space Food Fighter - Peter Hannan

      Chapter 1

      Flurbian Joyride

      A bright orange blur streaked and looped across the purple Flurbian sky. It took a sharp downward turn and then shot straight up again. Screaming and yelling rang out across the multicolored landscape, but it quickly turned into laughter . . . uncontrollable laughter.

      It was King Freddy and Glyzix riding Orange Beauty on a high-speed tour of the Flurbian wilderness. Freddy’s crown flew off his head, and Glyzix immediately replaced it with another. It was the eleventh crown Freddy had lost that afternoon, but it was totally worth it.

      Now the seven Flurbian suns were about to set. We’d better head home, Kingster, said Glyzix. On Flurb, when the suns go down—

      I know, I know, said Freddy. "They go down fast." As if on cue, the suns suddenly dropped like stones beyond the far hills, plunging Flurb into total darkness.

      Just as suddenly, Orange Beauty turned downward in a wild death plunge.

      AHHHHHH! yelled Freddy.

      C’mon, O.B.—Glyzix yawned—you’re going to scare our young ruler out of his wits.

      Orange Beauty’s eyeball lit up like a headlight. The ground was closer than Freddy thought.

      "AHHHHH AGAIN!" he yelled.

      But just when it looked like they were about to be flattened on the rocky Flurbian surface, the ground opened up and they plunged into one of Flurb’s many underground canals. Freddy closed his mouth and held his breath as they went deep into the water, but before he knew it, they popped back up to the surface and were all laughing again. The canal twisted and turned and dipped and dropped like the wildest water park ride in the universe. What a planet.

      Chapter 2

      A Heavy Message

      By the time Freddy and Glyzix slid down Orange Beauty’s tail, the whole palace was asleep. Not just the residents—the palace itself was asleep . . . and snoring.

      Good night, Kingster, said Glyzix, shaking blue sand from his head plumes. Then he yawned, scrunched inside himself, and blasted off like a spring-loaded rocket to his room.

      Freddy entered the royal sleeping chambers and looked over at his bed, which was gigantic, bigger than his entire house on Earth. In fact, it was so big he had created a bed within a bed that became his cozy, private getaway. The mattress was covered with all Freddy’s stuff—gadgets, comic books, leftover birthday cake. His birthday had been a couple of days ago. Everyone in the kingdom had given him amazing presents—stuff he couldn’t have even imagined back on Earth. And his parents had given Freddy the only thing they had. It was a tiny flashlight that Dad had grabbed off his nightstand when they were being abducted. It said JOE’S HARDWARE on it, and, though it wasn’t much, it was Freddy’s favorite gift. Mostly because it was from his parents and it reminded him of home. Babette, on the other hand, hadn’t given him anything. I’ll give you a birthday present when you get me off this stupid planet, she’d said.

      Freddy brushed his teeth and washed his face (actually, his personal-hygiene robot did it for him). Then he took off across the floor toward the hovering Flurbian-style trampoline that he used to jump onto the bed. He was in midair when he heard it—a high-pitched whine that sounded like an incoming missile. Freddy immediately tucked and rolled and slid under the bed for protection, just as a large meteorite
