When we last saw our INTREPID TRIO, Gina had been sucked into a mysterious portal to who-knows-where. 
 
But friends don't let friends disappear into NOWHERE! It's up to D.J. and Hilo to follow her! Will there be danger? YES! Will there be amazing surprises? OF COURSE! Will Gina end up being the one to save them? DEFINITELY! 
 
With the help of Polly, the magical warrior cat, the friends will have to battle bad guys and face disgusting food, an angry mom, terrible knock-knock jokes, powerful magic, and more! Will they survive and make it back to Earth before the portal closes again?

Hilo: The Great Big Boom

D.J. and his friend Gina are totally normal kids. Until a mysterious boy comes crashing down from the sky and nearly blows up their club house! 
 
Hilo doesn't know where he came from, or what he's doing on Earth (or why going to school in only your underwear is a bad idea!) but he's starting to think he might not be the only alien to have crash-landed on our planet. 
 
Can the trio unlock the secrets of his past? Can Hilo survive a day at school? And are D.J. and Gina ready to save the world?

Hilo: The Boy Who Crashed to Earth

Oops! Turns out magic really is dangerous – to save the world, Gina has transformed it into a strange and scary place. The question is . . . can they turn it back?? 
 
The world's timeline has been turned upside down, and Earth is completely different. Magic is the norm, strange magical creatures are everywhere and D.J.'s family seem to have disappeared! 
 
Gina has to fix things, and fast! With D.J. and Hilo's help, can Gina dodge disaster and find the key to turn the world back to the way it was?

What do you do when a GIANT SPACE IGUANA lands in your garden? 
 
WHERE did she come from? And why is the WHOLE universe out to get her? I don't know, but it's up to D.J., Hilo and Gina to find out! 
 
With a galaxy of trouble ahead, including grumpy alien dads, cranky monsters – and D.J.'s spaceship driving!! – it will take a race through space to get her home. But can the gang save her? The whole universe might depend on it ...

D.J. and Gina are TOTALLY ordinary kids. But Hilo...isn't. He's an alien robot from another world! 
 
Hilo is just settling into life on Earth (Bowling? Knock-knock jokes? OUTSTANDING!) when strange portals begin opening up all over town and even STRANGER creatures are coming through them! 
 
But it will take more than a GIANT MUTANT CHICKEN, A VIKING HIPPO, A MAGICAL WARRIOR CAT, or even a few million KILLER VEGETABLES to stop Team Hilo. Er, won't it...? 
 
Can Hilo, D.J. and Gina figure out how to send these creatures back to their own worlds before they DESTROY the Earth?
