Sixth grade is just out of this world...

Susan Simmons can tell that her new substitute teacher is really weird. But she doesn't know how weird until she catches him peeling off his face -- and she realizes that "Mr. Smith" is really an alien!

At first no one will believe her -- except Peter Thompson, the class brain. When Peter and Susan discover Mr. Smith's horrible plans for their classmates, they know they have to act fast. Only they can get rid of their extra-terrestrial visitor -- and save the rest of the sixth grade class from a fate worse than math tests!

About the Author:

Bruce Coville Bruce Coville was born in Syracuse. He first became interested in writing when he was in the sixth grade, and decided to write children's books when he read Winnie the Pooh for the first time at the age of nineteen. (He might have read the book sooner, but he couldn't understand it until then.) Mr. Coville lives in New York City with a large, lazy cat named Spike. He has written more than three dozen books for children, including the best-selling My Teacher Is and Alien series.

From the Back Cover:

'So now I know. My teacher's an alien. Even worse, he's come to earth to kidnap kids and take them into space! '

At least I'm not alone – I've got Peter Thompson with me. I just don't know if that's comforting or worrying. For all his brains, Peter's never been much good in a crisis. But he's the only help I have and somehow we have to figure out a way to get rid of the alien before he takes off with the whole of our class. To be perfectly honest, I don't even know where to begin.
