INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Scieszka, Jon

SPHDZ Book #1!

(4) 4-6 Spaceheadz series. Illustrated by Shane Prigmore. With Francesco Sedita. Michael K. tries to stay away from the other new-kid fifth graders Bob and Jennifer--especially after they reveal they're aliens who "need to get three point one four million and one Earth persons to become SPHDZ" or Earth will be "turned off." The zany illustrations and kinetic design strive a little too much for quirkiness; nonetheless this series-starter is a comical, high-energy read.
