"Aliens on Vacation" by Clete Barrett Smith

 

I though this one sounded really funny.

Scrub isn't thrilled about having to go to his wacky grandmother's B&B for the summer, especially because he won't be able to attend basketball camp to try to win the starting position.  But Scrub is in for the summer of his life when his grandmother confesses that the Intergalactic Bed and Breakfast is actually intergalactic!  Scrub helps out disguising aliens and keeping them away from suspicious Sheriff Tate - until a camping trip goes horribly awry and Scrub's grandmother may lose everything.

This was a fun book.  I think middle schoolers will really love it - Scrub has a lot of legitimate concerns (will his best friend even miss him?  How will he ever kiss a girl?  Will he ever be good enough to be a starter on the basketball team?) and the alien twist is pretty neat.  I hope we'll hear more from Scrub in future books.  A 7 from me.
