Space Hostages (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780062294036)

Space Hostages is an intergalactic quest full of humor, adventure, and, of course, aliens that will have you laughing out loud until the very last page! Now in paperback, this is the hilarious middle grade sequel to Mars Evacuees...the kids will have to save the galaxy all over again. And this time they don't have any duct tape! Plucky heroine Alice Dare and her friends go on a second journey into space that goes spectacularly wrong when they realize that they are up against a whole new kind of alien.

Alice Dare is relieved that at last humans and the alien Morrors are now living peacefully together. But with an influx of too many Morrors, space on Earth is getting a bit tight. To find room for all the Morrors, they've begun terraforming a cold little moon in the Alpha Centauri system--and Alice and her friends are invited to the inauguration of the Morrors' new home!

But once they arrive, the kids are kidnapped by the hostile Krakilluks and must save themselves and the Eemala people in the process.

Getting kidnapped by giant, dramatic lobster-aliens wasn't on the itinerary. What else could possibly go wrong?
