Think your school is strange?
Feel like you don’t quite fit in?
Fourteen-year-old Sherman Capote is an Air Force brat used to moving schools. But he’s never been to a place like Groom Lake High, the high school for aliens at Area 51.
It’s a totally alien environment filled with cliques and bullies, but he makes friends with a gang of
galactic misfits: Octo, a quick-witted Ventitent (a twenty-tentacled “octopus”), Houston, a moody robot, Sonya, a rebellious lizard, and Juliet, an omnipotent goddess. But when the school bully, Ned, initiates a War of the Worlds, Sherman and his new
friends must set aside homework, first crushes and high school proms to save the world.
“For anyone who has ever thought that their classmates are from another planet – you are so right.”
Jon Scieszka
Genre: Children's Fiction
