Book Review

Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

Aliens Ate My Homework is a work of science fiction and fantasy fun penned for children by author Matthew S. Cox. In this second novel in The Adventures of Ubergirl series, we return to Kelly Donovan and her Earth-saving ways for another delightful installment. After her fascinating and fun origin story, Kelly now has serious world-saving work to do, but she also has to handle being a normal kid with normal bedtime and a family to keep under wraps. As Kelly discovers more and more about the aliens who gave her superpowers and what they really want to do to the people of Earth, so begins an exciting new investigation against all odds. Author Matthew S. Cox has produced another fun and exciting children’s novel that fans of the first volume are certain to enjoy. Kelly’s exploration of her powers and her relationship with her mad scientist father are developed further from the first novel, as is the conspiracy of the Nolmek aliens who turn extremely sinister in this slice of the action. Middle-grade readers will love Kelly’s plucky nature and her humor as the plot progresses, plus the action scenes are superbly well described to bring every superheroic moment to life. I particularly enjoyed the atmosphere of conspiracy and secret-keeping in this tale, where Kelly tries to play whistle-blower against those who believe the Nolmek are good. Overall, Aliens Ate My Homework is an excellent continuation of the Ubergirl series and a highly recommended read.

Aliens ate my homework.

Written by Bruce Coville

Illustrated by Katherine Coville

Reviewed by Kevin C. (age 9)

In this story, a space ship crashes through a boy's window and falls into his room. The boy's name in Rod. The aliens tell him that their ship is broken and that they need to stay with him for a while. Then one day, when Rod came home from school the aliens told him that a boy in his school named Billy Becker is really an alien criminal from outer space! The aliens said that they have been searching for him for a long time but never caught him. Rod reacts by yelling, "I'm going to get him!" In the ending there is a surprise! The illustrations are very good. The illustrator put a lot of detail into them. The only thing I didn't like about the pictures is that they were black and white.

I like this book a lot because I like books about aliens. I would recommend this book to others because it is very interesting when the ship goes through the window and other things. I don't think girls would want to read this book because I don't think that girls would want to read about aliens.

About the author

Bruce coville.

Bruce Coville was born in Syracuse, New York, in 1950. His family lived in farm territory, about twenty miles north of Syracuse. Bruce grew up around the corner from his grandparents' dairy farm, where he spent a great deal of time as a child, dodging cows and chores to the best of his ability. As a young reader he loved Mary Poppins and Dr. Dolittle, and still has fond memories of rising ahead of the rest of his family so he could huddle in a chair and read THE VOYAGES OF DR. DOLITTLE. He also read lots of things that people consider junk (Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, and zillions of comic books). His only real regret is the time he spent watching television, when he could have been reading instead. (A mind is a terrible thing to waste!)

His first book, THE FOOLISH GIANT, was published in 1978. It was illustrated by his wife, Katherine, whom he had married in 1969. This was followed in 1979 by SARAH'S UNICORN, also illustrated by Katherine. After a long period of working separately, the Covilles began collaborating again with SPACE BRAT and GOBLINS IN THE CASTLE, both published in 1992.

Before getting published Bruce earned his living as a toymaker, a gravedigger, a cookware salesman, an assembly line worker, and finally as an elementary school teacher (second and fourth grades). He left teaching in 1981 to devote himself to becoming a full time writer - though it took another five years to achieve that goal!)

Bruce has published over 100 books, which have appeared in over a dozen countries around the world and sold more than sixteen million copies. Among his most popular titles are MY TEACHER IS AN ALIEN, INTO THE LAND OF THE UNICORNS, and THE MONSTER'S RING. In 2001 he founded Full Cast Audio, an audiobook company dedicated to creating unabridged, full cast recordings of the best in children's and young adult literature.

Review - aliens ate my homework by bruce coville.

2 comments:

I remember thinking the same thing - this was the book that inspired the series! Definitely stand alone and my kids' favorite.

@Julia Rachel Barrett: That's one of the things I love about this book - it is great on its own, and it kicks of a really good series too. It's like a one-two punch of goodness.

Aliens Ate My Homework

“It’s the weirdest alien invasion ever!”

“I cannot tell a lie,” says Rod Allbright. And it’s the truth. Ask him a question, and he’s bound to give you an honest answer.

Description

“I cannot tell a lie,” says Rod Allbright. And it’s the truth. Ask him a question, and he’s bound to give you an honest answer. Which is why when his teacher asks what happened to last night’s math assignment, Rod has to make the only answer he can: “Aliens at my homework, Miss Maloney!”

Of course, no one believes Rod this time, so they don’t bother to ask him why the aliens are here—which is just a swell, since he is sworn to silence about their secret mission, and the fact that he has been drafted to help them!

Read a sneak preview of this title

Chapter One

Billy becker, boy beast.

“Watch out, Pudge-Boy! Here comes number 23!”

That was Billy Becker.

“Splat! Squish!”

That was Arnie Markle, providing sound effects for the final moments of the bug Billy was smushing against the back of my head.

“Mmmph grrgle!”

That was me, Rod Allbright, trying to say, “Let me go!”—which wasn’t easy with Arnie sitting on my back and pressing my face into the grass.

Why was Billy Becker squashing a bug against the back of my head?

It was his hobby.

You know how it is: some people collect stamps, or comic books, or beer bottle caps. Billy was collecting a list of how many kinds of bugs he could mash in my hair.

Why was Arnie helping him? Well, until Billy moved to town, Arnie had been our official class bully and kid most likely to spend time in prison. He was big—about a foot and a half taller than Billy. That wasn’t quite as big as it might sound, since  everyone  in our sixth grade class was taller than Billy, usually by at least six inches.

(My mother, who sort of drips sympathy, said that Billy’s size could explain why he had made it a point to beat up every boy in the sixth grade within a month of moving to our school.)

Most of the guys just stayed away from Billy after that. But Arnie was so awed by Billy’s fighting skills that he had become devoted to him. Now he was Billy’s official hench-thug, which meant it was his job to hold me down while Billy smeared bugs in my hair.

“Okay, Arnie,” said Billy, “You can let him up now.”

I scrambled to my feet, but didn’t say anything; I had already learned what a mistake that could be. Arnie, unfortunately, was perfectly willing to talk. “I don’t think that one should count,” he said.

“Why not?” demanded Billy.

“It was a spider. Spiders aren’t bugs.”

Billy slapped his hand against his forehead. “How could I have been so stupid! I’m sorry, Pudge-Boy. Really. I’ll tell you what. Just scratch that one off the list. And don’t worry about it—I’ll find something nice and juicy to replace it.”

Snickering at their wit, Billy and Arnie wandered off.

My best friend, Mickey, helped me to my feet. Mickey had been the shortest kid in the sixth grade until Billy showed up. He was still one of the nicest—which shows you what my mother’s theory was worth. “I’m amazed,” he said now.

“Why?” I asked, as I dug for my comb. (I never used to carry a comb, but after Billy started his new hobby I found it very useful for getting the bug guts out of my hair.)

Mickey shrugged. “That was the most intelligent thing Arnie’s said all year.”

You might wonder why I didn’t just pound Billy’s face in when he did these things—especially since he was so much smaller than me. The answer is simple: While Billy had already beat up every boy—and half the girls—in the class, I, personally, had never managed to beat up anyone. The sad truth is, I’m not much good at anything physical. That’s why the other kids call me Rod the Clod. (Except Billy, of course; he calls me Pudge-Boy, which I don’t think is really fair, since the doctor says I only need to lose ten or fifteen pounds to be the right weight.)

The few times I lost my temper and actually struck back at Billy he either put on his innocent face—which teachers and other adults seem to find totally angelic—or else he beat the daylights out of me.

I know I am not a good fighter. Even so, it is very embarassing to get beat up by someone a foot shorter than me.

I was still trying to think of a way to get revenge on Billy when the afternoon bus dropped Mickey and me in front of our houses. We live about four miles out of town, and there are not a lot of other kids around, except for our stupid “siblings” (as our teacher, Miss Maloney, calls them). Mickey has one sibling and I have two. Mickey’s is a little sister named Markie. She is pretty much a normal kid.

Mine are a matched set, three year old twins known as Little Thing One and Little Thing Two. They are not normal by any stretch of the imagination.

Their real names are Eric and Linda. They decided they wanted to be Little Thing One and Little Thing Two after I read  The Cat in the Hat to them. (They had a fight about who got to be Thing One, but since Linda was born first, Eric was doomed to lose that battle. He loses a lot of fights that way.)

My mother is totally unamused by these names, but she can’t do much about them because (a) they were the Things’ idea and (b) the Things are only three years old. (In case you don’t happen to have any around, let me explain that three year olds are very good at insisting on this kind of thing.)

My dog, Bonehead, started barking as I came up the driveway.

“Hello Rod, pick up your feet,” said Mom, as I stumbled over the doorstep. “I’m glad you’re here. Mrs. Nesbitt needs help, and I don’t want to take Eric and Linda up there if I don’t have to.”

“My name isn’t Eric,” said Eric, without looking up from the blue fingerpaint he was smearing across a big piece of paper. “It’s Little Thing Two. And I like Mrs. Nesbitt. She gives me cookies.”

Mrs. Nesbitt is this old lady who goes to our church. Mom sort of watches out for her, which takes a lot of time.

Once I asked Mom why she did it. She just looked at me funny and said, “It needs to be done.”

I wouldn’t have cared all that much, except watching out for Mrs. Nesbitt didn’t just mean extra work for Mom. (I mean, who do you think got stuck with Thing One and Thing Two while Mom was off playing Good Samaritan?)

“Can’t you take them with you?” I asked. “I have to work on my volcano.”

“The twins make Mrs. Nesbitt nervous.”

“They make me nervous, too,” I said. I started breathing fast and wheezing to prove it.

Mom gave me one of her looks. You know the kind I mean.

“All right,” I muttered. “I’ll do it.”

Like I had a choice.

I decided to let the Things help me with the volcano—or at least, with making the papier mache I needed for the next step. The volcano was my major science project for the big end-of-the-year Science Fair, which was scheduled for that Friday. I had been working on it for over a week now, and it was going to be big time—a great looking volcano that would really erupt when it was finished. I needed to add one more layer of papier mache before I could start painting it.

“Hey kids!” I yelled, as Mom headed out of the driveway. “Wanna make pooper mucky?”

(“Pooper mucky” is what the Things called papier mache.)

“Yay for Roddie!” cried Little Thing One, who loved gooping around with the stuff.

Little Thing Two started to clap.

“Okay, you two get the tub. I’ll meet you in my room.”

It was one of those hot days that sometimes surprises you in early May, so I opened my windows and put on a pair of shorts. After spreading some papers on the floor to protect it from the goop we were about to make, I went to look at the volcano, which stood on a card table in the corner of the room. It was nearly two and a half feet high, built it on a four foot by four foot square of plywood I had found in the basement. I was really proud of it.

The Things lugged in the tub we used for making papier mache and we dumped in some torn-up paper left from the last time we had done this. Then I poured in water and paste, and we started squeezing it with our hands to get that nice oozy goop that is so much fun to work with. When it was pretty much ready, I went back to the volcano to see where I wanted to start working. Suddenly I heard a tearing sound. Before I could turn to see what had caused it, a dollop of papier mache smacked against the back of my bare leg.

“Wow!” cried Little Thing One.

“Holy Macaroni!” cried Little Thing Two.

I spun around.

The first thing I saw was a big hole in the screen.

The next thing I saw was globs of papier mache spattered all over the room, including a big splotch on Thing One’s face.

The third thing I saw was a foot-long spaceship that had landed nose first in my vat of papier mache. I thought it must be a toy—until a blue glow began to crackle and sizzle around it. You could  smell  the electricity.

I revised my opinion. This thing was real!

The crackle continued. Just as I was wondering if the ship was going to explode, it started to grow.

Within seconds it was three feet long. I wondered if it was going to get so big it would blow our house to smithereens. But suddenly the crackling electric glow began to sputter. The ship shrank back to two feet, grew a bit, then shrank again. A moment later the crackling stopped.

The electric glow disappeared.

The spaceship held steady at about two feet long.

Thing One and Thing Two had been edging closer to me while all this was going on. Now I had one of them clinging to each hand.

We waited, holding our breath.

Everything was silent.

We stepped forward, then stopped as a door opened in the side of the ship.

Aliens Ate My Homework (The Adventures of Ubergirl) Paperback – October 9, 2019

Purchase options and add-ons.

Kelly Donovan wants to save the Earth from aliens, but her plan has a serious snag—she needs to do it before bedtime.

It’s been a few weeks since the Nolmek scattered giant crystals around the world that unintentionally gave some people super powers. They also nearly eliminated war and shared technology to solve famine, drought, and pollution, so pretty much everyone loves them. Alas, the aliens didn’t visit Earth purely out of kindness.

They needed a primitive species to enslave.

Kelly discovers they’re speeding up their plans, already abducting people from the super-prison right out from under the cops’ noses, the same prison her mad-scientist father is stuck in. She’s desperate to protect him, but unfortunately, no one is willing to believe the Nolmek could be bad guys. Worse, they know she’s on to them.

If she can’t find proof of the aliens’ plan, stop the invasion, and be in bed before nine, she faces worse than the enslavement of humanity—she’ll be grounded.

Aliens Ate My Homework

• When a tiny spaceship flies through his window and lands on his science project, Rod and his cousin Elspeth meet a group of friendly aliens, the extraterrestrial lawmen known as the Galactic Patrol.
• Extraterrestrials invade Earth and a pair of middle schoolers hold the fate of the world in their hands in Aliens Ate My Homework, a delightfully comical intergalactic adventure from Universal 1440 and Lay-Carnagey Entertainment. Aliens Ate My Homework is based on the first book in the wildly successful Rod Allbright and the Galactic Patrol series. Written by internationally renowned author Bruce Coville, the four-part saga has sold over 17 million books worldwide and has been translated into 16 languages. When a tiny intergalactic starship crashes into the bedroom of 12-year-old Rod Allbright (Jayden Greig), it's the start of the adventure of a lifetime for him and his cousin Elspeth (Lauren McNamara). Enlisted by the extraterrestrial Galactic Patrol, a group of out-of-this-world lawmen, Rod and Elspeth must race to save the world from Total Planetary Disaster. The film features the voice of William Shatner ("Star Trek") as the intrepid intergalactic explorer known as Phil the Plant. — anonymous
