The New York Times bestseller: "You gotta read this. It is the most exciting book about Pluto you will ever read in your life." —Jon Stewart

He stood at the heart of the controversy over Pluto''s demotion, and consequently Plutophiles have freely shared their opinions with him, including endless hate mail from third-graders.
