description: When My Teacher is an Alien was first published no one expected it to become an international bestseller. But the combination of sassy humor, pulse-pounding adventure, and unexpected bits of philosophy proved irresistible to kids, parents, and teachers around the world. Bowing to popular demand, author Bruce Coville created three more books about the lead characters -- books that were not mere sequels but new adventures that forged the entire series into a unified story that reaches a towering climax in the final volume, where all questions were finally answered, the mysteries unraveled, and the threads of the personal stories drawn into a satisfying knot as tears, belly laughs, and big ideas jostle for position. This tenth anniversary edition marks the first time the series has appeared in hardcover, and the first time all four books have been gathered in a single volume. It's a must for collectors, and a perfect gift for young readers ready to reach for the stars.
