An alien in the classroom

When sixth grader Susan Simmons discovers that her substitute teacher, Mr. Smith, is an alien, her classmates are slow to believe her. Peter Thompson, the class brain, joins her in investigating what the visitor plans for their class. The school setting gives this science-fiction adventure a distinctly sixth-grade problem to solve: Susan and Peter must find a way to stop Mr. Smith before his plans affect their classmates. The description frames the conflict around discovery, persuasion, and teamwork, with the classroom at the center of an extraterrestrial threat.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids ages 9–12 interested in science-fiction adventures.

Book overview

Could your teacher be an alien? Do your research with this bestselling, hilarious sci-fi favorite from the author who inspired Christopher Paolini's Eragon series.

Sixth grade is just out of this world!

Susan Simmons can tell that her new substitute teacher is really weird. But she doesn't know how weird until she catches him peeling off his face--and realizes that "Mr. Smith" is really an alien!

At first no one will believe her except Peter Thompson, the class brain. When Peter and Susan discover Mr. Smith's horrible plans for their classmates, they know they have to act fast. Only they can get rid of their extraterrestrial visitor--and save the rest of the sixth grade class from a fate worse than math tests!
