Illustrated by
Neal Layton.
Zartog, an alien who lands on Earth, loses his spaceship's remote control. When Rachel finds it, she pushes the channel change button and things change from one thing to another--very useful for dealing with bullies. Zartog, however, needs his remote to get home. The cartoon-style line drawings are, at times, unappealing, but the fast-paced story is full of silly puns and ridiculous situations.
