From Publishers Weekly
This zany caper showcases Coville's ( My Teacher Is an Alien ) ability to make the unbelievable close to credible. The young hero, down-to-earth Rod Allbright, doesn't quite believe his eyes when a small blue spaceship flies through his bedroom window and lands in a vat of papier-mache he is using for a science project. Within minutes the startled boy meets the spaceship's curious crew, and is recruited to become an integral player in their mission to apprehend an alien criminal whose specialty is cruelty. As it turns out, Rod knows too well how cruel this culprit can be, as he has been posing as the bullying Billy Becker, Rod's archenemy at school. After several surprises and funny moments (as Billy turns in his math assignment, he is horrified to see that one of the aliens hiding in his desk has chewed on it so that it resembles a lace doily), the plot ends with Billy (literally) getting his comeuppance, as the aliens carry him off to a faraway planet. Coville's typically high-spirited entertainment will appeal equally to girls and boys. Ages 8-12.

From AudioFile
Rod Albright finds himself in unusual circumstances as he aids some tiny space aliens in thwarting their common enemy, Billy Becker. Dufris transports the listener into the excitement and humor of the story. The diminutive but fierce alien, Capt. Grakker, boasts a voice full of command and determination. Dufris's outstanding imitation of Peter Lorre becomes the voice of Snout, the mental telepathy expert. The wide range of characters allows Dufris opportunity to creatively expand his vocal talents as he gives each one individuality and personality. Fast-paced, funny and totally enjoyable for older elementary-aged children, this makes great listening for families traveling together. P.A.J. An AudioFile Earphones Award winner.
