Description
On his first day at Brooklyn's P.S. 858, fifth-grader Michael K. is paired with two very strange new students. As he spends time with them, Michael gradually comes to believe they are aliens who need his help. He tries to convince others that his classmates are from another planet, but no one believes him. The book is the first in the Spaceheadz series by Jon Scieszka, coauthored by Francesco Sedita.
