Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
In a delightful sequel to Aliens for Breakfast (1988), tiny Aric, Commander of the Interspace Brigade, again needs Richard's help: The greedy Graxians have hijacked his ship and its supply of XTC-1000 (a commodity that keeps a planet's desserts tasty for 11,976 years); if the Threllians don't get their shipment, they'll attack Earth to try to get its XTC-1000. Arming themselves with a spray can of soy sauce and an eggbeater, the intrepid adventurers set out. Their weapons prove ineffective-- but the Graxians faint away when confronted by the celery sticks that Richard (a fan of veggies) has in his pocket. Brisk, imaginatively conceived action, rib-tickling dialogue, and comical--the phenomenal significance of food; Aric's parsimony (he knows how to make them all invisible, but holds back despite their danger: ``The Brigade works on a very tight budget...Every ten minutes of vanishing costs...$183.15'')- -all combine to make this tops in enjoyable sf for beginners. Illustrations not seen. (Fiction. 7-10) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

A Charming Delightful Books for Young Readers!,
This review is from: Aliens For Lunch (Stepping Stone, paper) (Paperback)
The story is about Richard and his friend, Henry, who make microwave popcorn when a tiny pink alien pops out of the bag. His name is Aric who was in the previous book, "Aliens for Breakfast." He needs Richard's help again. Creatures from his plant Threll are planning to attack earth and steal desserts. What else could they want from us? It's not our souls or our planet but delicious desserts.
Young readers and even older readers will enjoy the book's silliness at times. It's light-hearted humor and imaginative at times. It's an easy read.

WOW!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aliens For Lunch (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Stepping-Stone Book) (School & Library Binding)
Fantastic! Madeleine L'Engle, the author of A Wrinkle in Time, is a great writer.The characters are Mrs. Whatsit Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, Mr. Murry, Meg ,Charles Wallace Calvin ,It, and Aunt Beast. The characters were interesting because each of them are so different than the other. Meg Calvin, and Charles Wallace go on a journey through space to the planet Camotz were Meg's father is trapped. I would recommend this book for 3rd grade and up.
