I loved this book because it is so funny and it teaches us a lesson. Teamwork saves the day. It also shows a alien called Chorkle that works with humans to get the humans home and to protect the other humans. The gentreator that the aliens used for years and years was stolen. The team teamed up with more aliens that are birds to defeat the Vormen.

Chorkle and its human friends Hollins, twins Becky and Nicki, and Little Gus (who is now lobbying to be called Medium Gus) have been warped to a strange new galaxy. When Kalac is stranded on neighboring planet Kyral, the gang takes matters into its own hands (and thol'grazes) and sets off on a daring rescue mission. Along the way, they'll befriend a whole new species and form some very unlikely alliances, all while navigating bizarre and dangerous terrain.
Can they manage to save Kalac? Or are they doomed to warp through the galaxy forever?
With brilliant prose and unforgettable characters, For the Love of Gelo is filled with adventure, laughs, and a ton of heart.
“O’Donnell’s debut is an imaginative, smart and laugh-out-loud adventure. Chorkle is charming, and its alien perspective on the human invaders and the ensuing culture clash never falters.”—Kirkus
