Alien Brain Fryout

This book is about detectives Willie, Lucy, and Kyle following the neighborhood bully Chuckie who is suddenly acting odd. He's not his usual money-grubbing self or up to his nasty tricks. His face and hair are clean. He's even wearing cologne. They think that he has experienced alien brain fryout and that is why he is being so nice to them. Armed with periscope, binoculars, and notebook, the detectives spy on him, but Chuckie is always spying back. By the end of the book the three detectives find out the real reason that Chuckie is being so nice to them. Is it fryout...you have to read it to find out! I really enjoyed reading this book. I am not usually a sci-fi type of person, but this adventure packed book was an exception to the rule. The illustrations really bring the story to life and help students to follow along with the twists and turns of the story.The author of this book was trying to convey the message that things are not always as they appear. Just because people have always been bullies, doesn't mean they can't change. When they do change we should give them a chance.
