I Shrank My Teacher (Sixth Grade Alien #02)
Pleskit and Tim's plan to prank a bully goes horribly awry in this second book of the hilarious, fast-paced, and accessible sci-fi series "Sixth-Grade Alien" from the best-selling author of ALIENS ATE MY HOMEWORK, Bruce Coville.
All Pleskit Meenom wants to do is fit in on his new planet. But bullies like his classmate Jordan Lynch make it clear he never will. Not even taking a trip to the mall and getting some Earth-style clothing is enough to stop Jordan's teasing or blend in at school. After one dig too many from Pleskit's bully, Pleskit and his best friend Tim decide to teach Jordan a lesson. So they borrow a shrinking ray from the embassy.
Shrinking rays are tricky machines, and this one turns out to be more than the boys can handle. Instead of cutting a mean kid down to size, they end up making Tim and their teacher Ms. Weintraub no bigger than a pair of pencils! If word gets out of this misuse of alien technology, it could ruin Pleskit's mission. But how can you hide the fact that you've shrunk your teacher?
