Ignatius MacFarland: Frequenaut!

Ignatius MacFarland: Frequenaut! is a humorous and adventurous chapter book about a young boy, Ignatius, who builds a rocket to escape the bullying he faces at school. Instead of finding friendly aliens, he accidentally blasts into a parallel frequency, a world populated by strange creatures and ruled by a former Earthling English teacher, Chester Arthur, who has conned everyone into believing he's a genius. Ignatius, along with another trapped Earthling named Karen, must use their wits and bravery to expose Mr. Arthur's fraud and find a way back home. This book blends science fiction, fantasy, and comedy, offering themes of self-acceptance, friendship, and standing up for what's right, making 'geekiness' cool.
