And so Ketchvar--who, to human eyes, looks just like a common snail--crawls into the brain of one Tom Filber and attempts to do his analysis. At first glance, Tom appears to be the perfect specimen--fourteen years old, good health, above average intelligence. But it soon becomes apparent that Tom Filber may be a little \u003ci\u003etoo \u003c\/i\u003eaverage--gawky, awkward, and utterly abhorred by his peers. An alien within an alien's skin, Ketchvar quickly finds himself wrapped up in the daily drama of teenage life--infuriating family members, raging bullies, and undeniably beautiful next-door neighbors. And the more entangled Ketchvar becomes, the harder it is to answer the question he was sent to Earth to resolve: Should the Sandovinians release the Gagnerian Death Ray and erase the human species for good? Or is it possible that Homo sapiens really are worth saving? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWickedly wry and hysterically skewed, David Klass's take on teen life on our fabulously flawed Planet Earth is an engrossing look at true friends, truer enemies, and awkward alien first kisses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStuck on Earth\u003c\/i\u003e is a 2011 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Klass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374399514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374399511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e136606 \/ Stuck on Earth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Lone Star Reading List - Commended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Isinglass Teen Read Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2009 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 49\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/18\/2010 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 pg. 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010","brand":"David Klass","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990162440447,"sku":"9780374399511","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd997cb0-19d6-4502-861b-3256009b9b28.jpg?v=1683303345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stuck-on-earth-david-klass-9780374399511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
