Milo's Universe 2. Revenge of the Houseplants

Milos univers. Potteplantenes hevn

Milo’s Universe is an illustrated book series for younger readers, perfect for those eager to read on their own. With humor, adventure, and a touch of sci-fi, the series follows Albert and his friends as they navigate the challenges of having a best friend from outer space.

In the first book, The Space Rabbit in the Attic, Albert and Ibbi are about to disband the Mystery Patrol due to a lack of mysteries—until they hear strange noises from the attic. What could be hiding up there? Or rather, who? Suddenly, they have more mysteries than they can handle—and maybe even a new friend!

In book two, Revenge of the Houseplants, Albert and Rolv forget to water Aunt Berit’s plants while she’s on vacation, and now they’ve all withered! Luckily, their space bunny friend, Milo, has a solution: a special substance from outer space that can bring wilted plants back to life. But there’s a catch—the plants grow out of control and form an army to take revenge on all humans who neglect their watering duties! Can Albert, Rolv, and Milo stop them before Earth turns into one giant flowerpot?
