This is a fun one-really great for middle school readers-especially boys! By the author of the amazing Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, this story plays it for laughs. Its full of wachy British humor and thrills as well. Best pals Jimbo and Charlie have bugged the teachers lounge and hear two of their teachers seemingly speaking in a unidentifiable language. At first the reader is sure that they are wrong in their suspicions that the teachers are really aliens, but then things begin to happen...After Charlie disappears, Jimbo and his sullen older sister Becky begin a desperate quest to save him and the WORLD! Will they succeed? Becky turns out to be a quick thinker and pretty deadly with some of her ever present beauty products!
