I don't think I'll ever forget this book! Its been what, 12 years since it came out. I know I did several book projects on it and read it several times for a good year or two.
Wish I still had it if only for nostalgia. I even remember the cover of it even though its not on this site. They had green faces and pointed heads. Quite "alien looking" but in a cute non-scary way thats suitable for 10 year olds.
Probably my favorite childhood book for sure.
Well, except for Harry Potter but that goes without saying these days....
