A day at the amusement park turns into a rescue mission for alien siblings Klatu, Lek, and Ploo in the sixth title of the “Weird Planet” series. Stranded on Earth since their spaceship crashed in Nevada, the extra terrestrials use their ability to morph into other forms to become humans for a day of fun. They explore West World and Space World in the theme park Dizzyland with their human friends Jo-Jo and Lily, and while touring the Space World Galaxy Zoo, discover a space creature named Mu locked up in a cage. Determined to rescue her, Klatu, Lek, Ploo, and Lily sneak out of their hotel, return to Dizzyland, and find themselves running for their lives as the sweet-faced Mu decides to eat them rather than thank them once she is free. A Looglish dictionary at the end of the book explains the aliens’ vocabulary; additionally, Klatu’s struggle with English words and figures of speech will help emergent readers develop a better grasp of both. 2008, Random House Children’s Books/Random House, $3.99.
