** "Pogo Planet" by Donald A. Wollheim is a science fiction tale from the 1940s that centers on Ajax Calkins, a driven man keen to stake his claim in space. He aims for the newly found Midplanet, but his journey turns comical once he crash-lands on the light-filled world. Here, Ajax meets intelligent kangaroo creatures and befriends Bosco, a giant flea, to escape captivity. Together with Nadia Landor, an Earth native, Ajax faces outlandish situations as they strive to return safely while he also tries to declare himself a ruler: the narrative combines humor with adventure, teaching Ajax that even the grandest plans can be upended by quirky realities. **
