About the book
The first day of seventh grade was probably the worst day of Duncan Dougal’s life. He knows that things are really bad when he finds an alien’s hand in a dumpster and then gets plugged into an alien brain fryer! Can Duncan find out which of the four new teachers in his school is an alien before his brains get fried to a pulp—or before the aliens try to fry the whole planet? "Coville deftly picks up the first book's plot treads while weaving a new tale from Duncan's point of view. The fast-paced plot and terse, familiar narration will attract readers to Coville's continuing tales."—ALA BOOKLIST Bruce Coville was born in 1950 in Syracuse, New York. He first decided he might like being a writer when he was in the sixth grade and over the years of his writing career has written dozens of books for young people.
