Joe Pidge is bobbing his way down the street one day when Pluto Rocket arrives. Pluto is from another planet and is disguising herself for a secret mission—to find out what life in the neighbourhood is really like.

Lucky for Pluto, Joe Pidge has seen it all before, eaten it all before and pooped on it all before, so he takes her under his wing. But will Joe actually learn a thing or two from out-of-this-world Pluto?

Find out in the first book of this hilarious new graphic novel series, New in Town (Pluto Rocket #1)!
