Zack's family is going to the planet Frozanthia for a vacation and Drake is coming with them. Zack and Drake are eager to try out all the wintry activities, but will it be too much for them?

A nice little message about not rushing yourself when learning and persevering in an extremely imaginative wintry planet. It's like an ice hotel meets a ski village meets a cutting edge tech show. Very imaginative activities, and plenty of cold. Made me chilly just reading it. :)

Notes on content: No language issues or sexual content. There's a snowboarding fall that thanks to tech only results in a sprained ankle.

In keeping with my early reader's journey through juvenile fiction, I came across this installment, a fun space fantasy about a boy named Zack, and his friend Drake, who go on a trip with Zack's family to the most wonderful place in the galaxy, a winter resort, where there's fort building, ice fishing, and skiing, but in an out of this world, spacelike atmosphere. Very fun read, and another cute message about coming together and not giving up, and all that nice crap kids enjoy. I didn't know what to expect from reading this, as I'm not a fantasy reader, but I think kids who enjoy fantasy and winter and such will enjoy this one. My rating - 4/5

The Galaxy Zack series never ceases to amaze. In this series you follow the adventures of Zack and his family. They moved from Earth to Nebulon where things are out of this world. This series is good for most ages of readers though some of the made up words may be challenging. Be sure to check this series out!

This one was better than most, there is a little bit of adversity in it and Zack does not always clearly win.
