In this second book of a series, Brian and Gregory are caught in the middle of two alien civilizations. Early in the story, they discover they are being stalked by monsters. Then when they travel to a suburban neighborhood to find their friend Prudence, they find the entire neighborhood has been invaded and brainwashed by aliens. Throughout the book, they continue to fight off monsters until they team up with their old friend Kalgrash, and together they find and save Prudence from alien brainwashing. In the end, they all decide to work together which will lead to the third book of the series. This is great for students in grade 6-9. Any student who loves science fiction/horror will love this book. As a reading teacher, I find this book to be an excellent source for teaching plot summary and conflict. I also believe this novel addresses Havighurst's developmental task that adolescents need to learn how to get along with peers because throughout the story the characters continued develop strong bonds as they worked together to help each other.
