I'm looking this book I read 5-10 years ago (I read a Finnish version). I think it is intended for children or teenagers.
- The main character is a human kid transported with other children and some adults to an alien space station in order to be trained as a hero for a fight against a vaguely detailed threat in space.
- The book has a very non-serious, silly and even childish tone. I can't remember exactly, but the threat they were fighting against sounded very absurd.
- The book focuses on interaction between the main character and other kids. In the end the kids are sent to fight the threat that is left vague.
- I can remember one detail that maybe helps. The aliens have a saying that contains the word 'rikkaus' (wealth). The main character and some adult human discover that the saying is likely corrupted and it should be 'rakkaus' (love). The aliens appear to not have the concept of love. As the book is probably translated, the original word play is likely different but similar.
