Sixth Grade Alien

Fellow sixth graders, an alien and a human, become unlikely friends in this hilarious, fast-paced, and accessible first book in the sci-fi series Sixth-Grade Alien from the bestselling author of Aliens Ate My Homework, Bruce Coville. Sixth grade can be tough. But starting sixth grade as the only alien on the planet seems impossible. When Pleskit Meenom, the son of the first alien ambassador to earth, finds out he’s going to public school, he’s less than thrilled. Especially after what happened on their last planet. Tim Tompkins, on the other hand, couldn’t be more excited to meet a real alien—even if some of his classmates are warier of the first purple kid in their class. Tim is determined to befriend Pleskit and secretly hopes he may have finally found someone who feels as out of place as he does. But when angry mobs, cultural differences, and intergalactic plots get in the way, their friendship—and maybe even the planet—could be in danger.

"Aliens have contacted Earth and have sent an ambassador-a single parent with his kid, Pleskit, who becomes the first sixth grade alien."

Pleskit Meenom is tired of constantly being teased by Jordan Lynch. Pleskit & his friend Tim decide to teach Jordan a lesson & borrow a shrinking ray from the desk of Pleskit's Fatherly One. Unfortunately, the plan backfires & it is Tim & their teacher Ms. Weintrab that get shrunk. If this gets out, it could ruin the alien mission. But how can you hide the fact that you've shrunk your teacher?

When Tim comes home from school and finds Beebo, a two-foot-high orange alien, he knows that he's in for trouble.

Pleskit Meenom, an alien, gets into trouble when he and his friend Tom borrow a shrinking ray to use on a mean student but shrink their teacher instead.

When Tim Tompkins dreamed of visiting other galaxies, he didn't think he would do it as a captive of an alien, and now he must try to survive and find his way back home.

Following the successful repackaging of Bruce Coville’s My Teacher Is an Alien series, great new covers for another popular backlist series from the bestselling author. IT’S THE WEIRDEST ALIEN INVASION EVER! “I cannot tell a lie,” says Rod Allbright. And it’s the truth. Ask him a question and he’s bound to give you an honest answer. Which is why, when his teacher asks what happened to last night’s math assignment, Rod has to give the only answer he can: “Aliens ate my homework, Miss Maloney!” Of course, no one believes Rod this time, so they don’t bother to ask him why the aliens are here. It’s just as well, since he is sworn to silence about their secret mission and the fact that he has been drafted to help them!

Pleskit finds that peanut butter makes him chase girls and try to kiss them and soon the purple alien has to deal with screaming tabloid headlines, a rumor mill that just won't quit, and a sexual harassment charge that could create an interplanetary incident.
