Synopsis

Jesse is having the worst day of his life. Unfortunately, it’s also the worst day in the history of humankind. Sanginians have invaded Earth, using their tremendous mental powers to turn all of humanity into their slaves in a matter of seconds. Lucky for Jesse, he has some telepathic abilities of his own, making him “superior product,” worthy to serve in the home of Lord Vertenomous, the leader of this new colony.Too bad for Lord Vert that Jesse isn’t the type of product to sit back and take things quietly. In fact, it seems there may be other product who feel the same—like Lauren, the overachieving do-gooder; Michael, the star athlete; and Lindsey, the fashion model. But it isn’t until Jesse starts communicating in his dreams with a mysterious girl, whom he’s pretty sure is real, that he starts to think the aliens might not be invincible after all.Brian Yansky takes listeners on a journey filled with humor and courage, where one teenage boy has to figure out what exactly it means to be human.

Update: I did not realize I would be receiving an "uncorrected proof" of this book. That said, it was cleaner by far than many of the final copies I've purchased lately! I encountered three or four errors in spelling or a missing word or two. Not a lot to deal with. Impressive these days! On to the b......more

Goodreads review by Lesley on December 03, 2014

This book may be suffering from false advertising: from the title and blurbs, I certainly started reading it because I thought it would be a "fun joyride," as promised. It was not. It was actually much more, very moving and thought-provoking. I can tell why the publishers wanted to lure readers in w......more

Goodreads review by Asenath on June 06, 2011

I was surprised by this book--I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. This book is very fast paced; not suspenseful, but the author doesn't spend a lot of time on description. The novel starts with the action: Earth is invaded, and taken over, by aliens. Boom. Done. Moving on. The plot was rath......more

Book 46 for 2010. I loved this one. My first thought was that it would be a humorous book (based on the title), but though it did have some laugh-out-loud moments, it's a serious sci-fi story with great character development. Highly recommended for boys and girls, fans of sci-fi and fantasy, seventh......more
