The verdict
Hokas Pokas
GOOD PRICE.
This is a collection of humorous science fiction stories by Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson about the Hokas, fuzzy alien creatures who look like teddy bears but take Earth stories and history completely literally, leading to absurd situations. It's for readers who enjoy lighthearted SF adventures with comedic misunderstandings and imaginative worldbuilding.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The Hokas can't tell the difference between fiction and reality, so when they decide they're Napoleon's army or need to fulfill an ancient prophecy, they commit fully to the bit with actual consequences.
- The stories involve humans getting caught up in the Hokas' elaborate recreations, like a young person and their Hoka tutor stuck on a planet where they're supposed to fulfill a deadly prophecy neither of them knew about.
- This is a classic collaboration between two well-regarded SF authors known for their storytelling skill, so the humor works alongside actual plot and character development rather than just being silly for its own sake.
As of Aug 15, the Hokas Pokas is a good price at $15.99 — versus a $16.06 typical price and a $5.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
