If you're looking for something that's just plain goofy, Spaceheadz by Jon Scieszka is the book for you. Michael K. is starting fifth grade at a new school, and he's stuck with two other new kids who are extremely weird. Bob always sounds like a commercial ("Think outside the bun!"), Jennifer sounds like a wrestling announcer ("Get rrrrready to rrrrrumble!"), and they insist that the hamster in their class is Major Fluffy, their mission leader. Their mission? To recruit 3,140,001 kids to become SPHDZ, so that Earth doesn't get turned off. Meanwhile, super-klutz Agent Umber from the Anti-Alien Agency is on their trail, in hilarious disguises. Tons of pictures will remind you of the Wimpy Kid series, and the web sites that are mentioned in the book are real! Lots of laughs, and if you like it, you're in luck - it's the first in a series.
