�Gr 5-7--In a saga reminiscent of the Men in Black films, middle school students Jen, Cody, and Sara become involved in a secret war between Earth and the evil alien empire of Amador. They discover that Earth's first line of defense against the space invaders is a group of super-intelligent, super-powered animals based in a converted Wild West Texas theme park and learn that these creatures were originally experimental space subjects that encountered the Amadorian forces while they were in flight. The alien scientists augmented their abilities so they could be used as advance invasion troops.�

�What present could be greater than this adventure book! Within the shortest time, I ventured through this fascinating story. Even though Zoonauts: The Secret Of Animalville by Richard Muller is written for children, the humorous language, vivid characters, and catchy plot make it great reading for adults too! I don't want to give away the plot, but have to say that the dragons are artfully interpreted to combine both Chinese and Western culture.�
- He Zhaomin Reviewer from Changchun, China
