Have you ever wanted to have an adventure in space? Have you ever dreamed of being a prince on another planet and having to fight evil aliens? Well, Teddy did--and he got his wish in this wonderful adventure story.

Teddy has only science summer school waiting for him after the last bell of the semester. He spends most of his time pondering about what it would be like to fight aliens and to travel in outer space. When he gets home there is an alien in his room. They decide to trade places...and Teddy ends up with the vacation of a life time. The alien is a prince from the planet Manoosh, and Teddy finds more than he expected there. Love and adventure await him.

The author and illustrator are both comic book writers, and there are a lots of wonderful illustrations in this book. It is a short story, but there is a lot of drama and comedy involved. It was a good twist on the classic story of the The Prince and the Pauper (Puffin Classics) written by Mark Twain. If you like this story then check out that one; you may like it.

I would have liked to have heard more about the alien's adventures here on Earth--but maybe next time! So if being here on this planet is not very interesting, check out this adventure and go to the planet Manoosh!
