Why Selected: Author study topic of another student
Literary Merit: Humorous tale of aliens befriending a new kid in school. They attempt to convert a legion of SPHDZ followers by placing stickers on everything. Advertising slogans are prevalent thoughout and used creatively in the story. Book has some websites that supplement, including one where you can register to be a SPHDZ. It even counts up to see if they can reach the over 3 million followers the aliens are attempting. I was number 6850.
Share: Suggested read for reluctant reader.
