Can of Worms

146 pp. | Avon | April, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-380-97681-1 $$15.00
(2) 4-6 Mike Pillsbury, a seventh-grade nerd, is haunted by images of spending his early childhood on a spaceship but isn't quite sure if he's remembering the past or fantasizing. In a self-deprecating narrative, Mike relates what happens when aliens really do arrive on Earth to take him away. Readers who like their sci-fi with a laugh track will enjoy opening this can of worms.
