SPHDZ Book #2!

April 1, 2011

Gr 2-5-Michael K. and space aliens Jen, Bob, and Major Fluffy (former class hamster) continue their quest to save the world by getting 3.14 million kids to sign up on the spaceheadz website. This time Jen's dramatic reaction to a blob of blueberry yogurt causes electromagnetic chaos and leads AAA Agent Umber to P.S. 858. Two of Michael K.'s tech-savvy classmates, Venus and TJ, join in to help beef up the website and run the kindergarten production of "Little Red Riding Hood," while Umber tries to find the aliens using one crazy disguise after another. Jen and Bob are the hyper and exhausting kind of aliens, speaking in advertising slogans and ready to use WWF moves at the drop of a hat, which makes sense, since it turns out that they are about five years old in Spaceheadz years. The book includes new websites plus updates to the originals and odd bits of information about camouflage and mimicry. Buy where Book #1 (S & S, 2010) is popular.-Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
