Alien Feast
THE WAR OF THE WORLDS MEETS DOUGLAS ADAMS as two kids and one old man prepare to save the world. Things are getting better with the alien invasion. Sure it's still not too uncommon to come home and find your step-parents reduced to a pile of unsavory feet--but at least now with the disease killing the aliens off, you have a relatively decent chance of making it through a day without getting mostly eaten. William knows this first-hand, having lost both his step-parents, but when the aliens kidnap his long-time crush Sophie's scientist parents (and the government won't help) it's up to William, Sophie, and William's bizarre Uncle Maynard to save them...and perhaps the rest of the world while they are at it. A hysterically twisted adventure that will knock your feet off

-----Clever and Original-----
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
It's the year 2017, and just imagine, the planet Earth has been taken over by an alien species who are not only ugly, but also nasty. You must avoid them at all costs and if you're clever, you have a chance to keep alive. We always assume that if another species makes it to Earth, they must be pretty intelligent, right? Not these aliens, they are actually lazy, and kind of stupid, at least that's what William Aitkin thinks. William's a likeable twelve year old boy and Alien Feast is his story. It begins with William coming home and finding a dreadful surprise waiting for him. After dealing with the home issue, he decides to consult with his Uncle Maynard, a wonderful character! The story continues when William's friend, Sophie, tells him that her parents, who are both doctors, have been abducted by the aliens. The adventures begin as William, Maynard and Sophie go on a rescue mission. There are parts of this book that made me laugh out loud and I'm sure many young readers will love the story! This is another offering by Michael Simmons, who wrote Pool Boy, Vandal, The Rise of Lubchenko and Finding Lubchenko. The author has the ability to delve into the youthful mind and come up with great stories. Well done!
