Michael K. is starting at a new school and is assigned to sit with two other new students, who are decidedly weird. While Michael is trying to live down staring in a famous cereal commercial due to his dad being in the advertising, the new kids are walking advertising slogans. They claim they are from another planet and have been listening/watching all the broadcasts from earth, apparently mostly the television advertisements. Michael has to help them recruit people to be SPHDZ or the earth will be "turned off." They are being tracked by a hapless agent from the Anti-Alien Agency (AAA). Fast-paced, full of silliness, the book includes regular asides about scientific facts. First of a series, the book contains links to
SPHDZ.com and
ANTIALIENAGENCY.Com where you can get more information and sign up to be a SPHDZ. Spaceheadz by Jon Scieska. Simon and Schuster, 2010.
