"Zack Files" meets "X-Files"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
"Hang a Left at Venus," by Dan Greenburg, is #15 in the "Zack Files" series of short novels for young readers. In this installment, New York City schoolboy Zack and his dad encounter an extraterrestrial visitor while walking in Central Park. Zack and dad have a series of comic misadventures as they attempt to help the friendly ET. The book spoofs the popular paranormal TV drama "The X-Files" in the form of two characters who are parodies of characters from that series.This is one of my favorite in the excellent "Zack" series. The extraterrestrial visitor is a particularly well-realized character, and the humor in the book is a lot of fun.
