Aliens have invaded!  In Zack & Zoey's Alien Apocalypse, that is! This is a fun story about heroic kids, disgusting aliens and tyrannical teachers penned by author MJ Ware.Aliens come to earth, at first they are as seemingly peaceful visitors who offer the cures illnesses that have been long suffered by humans. Afterwards the alien kindness puts the people of earth at ease; that is until one of them eats the president at a news conference! Then the evil alien plan for the people of earth becomes apparent, as all fat kids are either, eaten on the spot or taken away by the scary aliens!As the alien invaders begin to win the battle against the humans, humans succumb to the alien demands and new laws are implemented to force kids to eat more junk food to fatten up, to spend lunch and recess outside and walk home from school instead of take the bus all so they could be easily captured by the aliens.  The aliens are defeated by the wiles of Zack, Zoey and friends, who all turn out to be brave, Intelligent and resourceful kids. The story works out as an interesting read; with themes common to school age kids like mean teachers and meaner principals, girls maturing faster than boys, being overweight and puppy love. The humor in the story is right on level with what young readers may find funny.Overall, Zack & Zoey's Alien Apocalypse is a silly and amusing story that will appeal to many young readers.
