That's because their rooms aren't crooked, and when they need beds, they just buy them. It's a pretty neat place. But when Funny Boy--a Croutonian smart-aleck with the galaxy's best sense of humor--shoots his brother with a spitball, his parents strap him into a spaceship and blast him to Earth. Things get strange from the minute his spaceship crash-lands in the underwear factory. A planet-gobbling alien is about to attack his new home, and Funny Boy doesn't have any weapons besides a talking dog and a razor-sharp wit. But there is good news: Something about Earth's atmosphere has made Funny Boy even funnier. His job is to crack the jokes, but he needs somebody to turn the pages. So get to it! Earth won't save itself! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Funny Boy Meets the Airsick Alien from Andromeda \u003ci\u003eis the 1st book in Funny Boy, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Gutman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Road Media Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.56w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781453295274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDan Gutman (b. 1955) is a prolific author of popular children's books. He began his career with adult nonfiction books about baseball, covering topics such as the game's greatest scandals and the evolution of its equipment. The birth of his first child inspired him to begin writing for a young audience, beginning with \u003ci\u003eBaseball's Biggest Bloopers\u003c\/i\u003e (1993). \u003ci\u003eThe Kid Who Ran for President\u003c\/i\u003e (1996) became Gutman's bestselling book, and has sold almost a million copies. In 1997, he published \u003ci\u003eHonus \u0026amp; Me\u003c\/i\u003e, a story about a young boy who finds a rare baseball card that magically takes him back to 1909 to play with the great Honus Wagner. Gutman went on to create a series about time-travel encounters with other baseball stars such as Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth. \u003ci\u003eMiss Daisy Is Crazy\u003c\/i\u003e (2004) was the first My Weird School book, beginning a long-running series of more than forty novels. With \u003ci\u003eMission Unstoppable\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), Gutman debuted a new adventure series: the Genius Files, starring fraternal twins Coke and Pepsi McDonald. The first book in the series became a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller. The sequel, \u003ci\u003eNever Say Genius\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in 2012. Gutman lives in New Jersey with his family.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Dan Gutman \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47598556938397,"sku":"9781453295274","price":27.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_1e9a1e68-71d1-4c00-b5e6-38f2b241e3e8.jpg?v=1769516067","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/funny-boy-meets-the-airsick-alien-from-andromeda-9781453295274","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
