BRING BACK ROD'S BODY Rod Allbright has found his father -- but lost his own body It's been stolen by BKR, the most fiendish villain in the galaxy, which leaves Rod sharing the body of a one-eyed, blue alien named Seymour. Alas, when it comes time to go after BKR, Rod is forced to stay behind so that the little villain won't be able to get at the world-destroying secret locked in Rod's brain. Stranded on an alien planet with only Madame Pong, Seymour, Snout, and his annoying cousin Elspeth for company, Rod fumes at being left behind. Little does he know he's about to be drawn into a web of alien plots that will test his courage to the utmost -- and ultimately bring him face-to-face with BKR.
The item arrived at my home only 2-3 days after I ordered it, and was in excellent condition! I would definitely buy from this seller again!
Great adventure for kids (and kids at heart)

... Bruce Coville knows how to capture a childs mind and make them feel like they are actually the character in the book. It helps so much if you start from the beginning of the series, because you are able to identify with the characters and how they feel and how they see things. He does a fantastic job of this in each individual book as well. Every kid who like sci-fiction, boy or girl, that I have recomended this book to- and others of the series- has loved this book. This series alone brings to mind several kids that hated to read- then loved it. Fantastic job.
I can't express how wonderful this book is....

take: action, adventure, Rod, Seymour, Snout, Madame Pong, a few new characters, and add suspence, closure (EVERY loose end tied up) as well as a possiblility (a small one) of possible Albright stories in the future. Coville is a GENIUS! Don't miss this one!

An excellent book for the reading child. My daughter loved the charachers. From the grouchy captain Grakker to the diplomatic Madame Pong they all go looking for a snotty little villan named BKR.
This book is great

I read Bruce's first two alien adventures when I was in fourth grade i loved them. So when I saw there was a third one I quickly read it. Finding out about this one yesterday I bought it and read it all in one night. It is his best book ever. I got in trouble for cheering out at 2:00 am. But I coun't help it if you like sci-fi read this book.
