Overview / 简介: |
When Sam accidentally opens a strange box and suddenly finds himself sitting in the principal’s office of an intergalactic middle school, he is pressed to take on the challenge of capturing an obnoxious, shape-shifting alien, Exeter Lar Junderpanz. When the rude, sloppy, and gross alien transforms into a copy of Sam, our hero’s middle school reputation, already precarious, is in deep trouble. Will Sam beat the burping, nose-picking alien? Or will he be so far out at school that he might as well be in space? |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Grade 4-6–Sam figures middle school is the same everywhere. He has just finished his first miserable day at yet another new school, complete with bullies, grim cafeteria food, and a trip to the principal's office. He finds a mysterious package and can't resist exploring, even though it is clearly marked Do Not Open. Suddenly, he finds himself transported to the Central Denebian Accelerated School for Expatriate Space Travelers and Associated Mutants. He is not surprised that the food is gross, the teachers are test-happy and, as usual, he is in trouble. When he arrives, one of the school bullies is released from interplanetary detention, and the principal warns him that Exeter Lar Junderpanz will wreak havoc on Earth. Sam can either bring him back or serve detention himself. The space kid, a shape-shifter, transforms into Sam's double and begins to take over his life. He is a rude, careless slacker, and Sam, of course, gets blamed for his activities. When the alien decides to stay on Earth, Sam must save the planet and get his life back before the obnoxious mutant destroys both. Exeter's odd cognomen is typical of the book's middle school wit. There is lots of wise-cracking dialogue and body humor. The amusing interplanetary cover art should attract reluctant readers to this lightweight and lighthearted science fiction adventure.–Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elementary Schools, IL |
About the Author / 作者介绍: |
Caroline Luzzatto has never been tormented by an alien imposter, but she was tormented by her two big brothers, who nicknamed her "Ugmodo" (short for "ugly komodo dragon") and threatened to trade her for a couple of good record albums. Now she lives with her husband, three children, and ten fish in Virginia, where she writes children’s books, wears pajamas all day long, and usually eats her dessert before she eats her dinner. |
