Annie Gomez and the Gigantic Foot of Doom Jay B Cutts 9781507557334 Books

This book is about a 10th-grader named Annie Gomez and her coterie of ‘misfit’ friends. During summer vacation, she finds out that she may be a Chosen One, chosen to save the planet from destruction. The problem is that she’s torn between two alien races, and both of them claim that the others are the world-destroyers that she has to defeat.

As Annie and her friends shift between the two types of aliens, the book changes from a fantasy setting to a sci-fi setting. But there is a strong sense of humor and camaraderie that runs through both sections of the book. The sci-fi parts reminded me of Douglas Adams, especially when the aliens impart the secret of traveling faster than light. I also liked Annie’s friends, who all feel like real teenagers plunged into crazy circumstances. Here’s hoping they have more adventures for us to read!

Annie Gomez and the Gigantic Foot of Doom Jay B Cutts 9781507557334 Books Reviews

I won this book from Goodreads First Reads.

This book is about Annie and her friends encountering a couple of different alien races and saving the world from certain doom. Lighthearted fun read that would be good for anyone but particularly the younger audiences because there isn’t any adult language or situations involved.
Just as in Death by Haggis, Cutts once again gleefully cuts loose from the limitations of single-genre writing and stirs together science fiction, fantasy and perhaps a bit of magic in this new YA novel. Earth, we are told, is threatened by one of two competing alien races the Wahi—tiny, fairy-like and transdimensional—or the rhino-sized denizens of the plant P, where the rules are completely different and yet strangely familiar. Naturally Earth’s salvation falls to the savvy and pluck of a teenage schoolgirl, Annie Gomez.
Annie traverses time and space with her “coterie” of distinguished mates including at least one who is a bit more than we imagine. Mysteries and marvels abound, and one never knows what lies around the corner—or abides on the million-light-year stage. As with Haggis, Cutts mixes it all together with deft whimsy and waggish observations on the human condition. A good read for those young, young at heart, or in search of a truly outlandish yarn.
Jay Cutts takes the reader on a fanciful journey between three worlds mixing science fiction and fantasy. Annie and her Coterie become the central figures in a conflict beyond their meager high school troubles. Encountering fairy tale creatures and aliens they must decide whose cause is just and who's just using them.

What I liked Cutts' writing is imaginative, reminding me a bit of Douglas Adams' stream-of-consciousness style. The alien worlds are well-described, making you feel like you're there.

What I didn't like the characters, including the main group, felt 2D. And, in spite of the constant "worlds about to end" crisis, I never felt like Annie or her friends were in any real danger.

All in all, I had a hard time switching between the sci-if and fantasy worlds. Had the author picked one over the other, I think would have made the story stronger.

I wish Jay Cutts all the best in his current and future writing endeavors.
