Jack lives on Earth, but he is going to visit his aunt on planet Alpha I. He'll travel there in only a few seconds by "voya-code." His identical-looking dummy on Alpha I will "come to life" as a result of a computer input, and his real body will "sleep" until the code of his real self is programmed back into it.

Well, anyway, Jack discovers that this aunt, who's supposed to be real, is a dummy. But why? And how can he foil the masters of his aunt?

[Science fiction for the intermediate grades.]

Here's the booktalk I used in presenting this to students: Jack was making his first trip by Voya-Code from earth to the Planet Alpha I. It was 6 million light years away, but the trip would only take a few seconds by Voya-Code. It seemed more like going to the hospital than going on a trip. First you are wired up to the computer and then given a shot. When you woke up, you're there. At least your personality and mind are there. Your body stayed behind on the old planet in sleep storage until you returned.
On the new planet, you have an identical body, a dummy, to use until you return. All went well with his trip, but when he arrived at Alpha I, Jack discovered that strange things were happening there.
