But when a hurricane batters the small college town, downing power lines and knocking out cell phone reception, Stacey and her friends are stranded with no way to communicate with the outside world at the worst possible moment: in the midst of an alien invasion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As space insects begin to burrow into students and staff--transforming them into slobbering, babbling monsters--a conglomeration of misfits must band together to prevent the infestation from spreading. Meanwhile, Stacey's long-stifled romantic feelings for her friend Charlotte begin to surface, while the professor she had admired and respected becomes the students' worst enemy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Illustrated with enormous wit and dynamism--mixing classic tropes from science fiction, indie comics, B-movies, and campus culture--this graphic novel is something different, a large-scale action\/adventure story as seen from the point-of-view of a contemporary, realistic heroine. The result is a funny and singular work unlike anything else you've ever read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Owen King, Mark Jude Poirier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476763402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476763408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 7.60w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2015 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/14\/2015","brand":"Owen King","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989876932863,"sku":"9781476763408","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf7fb279-dbb7-4a7e-9ac5-3c138fccfe82.jpg?v=1683301844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intro-to-alien-invasion-owen-king-9781476763408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
