My Teacher Fried My Brains

I really liked this book because it was very funny and exciting.Also whenever I finished a chapter I did not want to stop reading.And that is unusial for me.My favorite part was when the teacher fried his brains.I really think you should read this book because I do not like very many books and I liked this one.

My Teacher Fried My Brains

I think My Teacher Fried My Brains is a good book because it described the aliens, it was exicting, and it was hard to tell what is going to happen next. It is about when a person gets abducted and is try to stop the aliens from pressing a button that will explode and destroy Earth.He has to teach the people o earth how to use thier brains to stop the aliens from destroying Earth.

This is a great book.

This book is about a young boy named Duncun who finds out that his Home Ec. teacher is an alien. First of all she fried his brains. Then he found out it made him smarter so he stayed after school and fried it 2 more times. Now he was practacly a genuis. One day he found out one of his teachers was definatly an alien and he wanted to tell somebody. He told her (not knowing she was the alien) that he thought one of the teachers was an alien. She took off her mask and took him home with her. There he found out he wanted her brain. When she had left the room, his friend Susan came and tried to rescue him, but his teacher caught them and took them both out to space with her to join their friend, Peter, who had already been taken out their. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a little adventure and a little Sci-Fi. This is a great book.

Interstellar Bully reforming machine?

I enjoyed this story's offbeat sense of humor and extremly cool plot. A wild imaginary reality in which the bullish, overbearing character Duncan Dougal is given a quick brain-fry treatment from his teacher... seems she has something else up her sleeve... Or under her skin! All this leads to a kidnapping, Duncan's body being used as an interstellar answering machine, and Duncan's re-evaluation of his life as a bully. A strong additon (and quite possibly my fave)in the "My teacher is an Alien" series. I reccomend it to everyone!! -Alex M.

My sixth grade class review

As a 6th grade teacher, I liked this book and the first book, "My Teacher is an Alien", because it got my students interested in my favorite genre of books, science fiction. The ending also is perfect for "what happens next?" essays, speeches and other projects-Mr. C.
