Middle school meets the Dark Side in this grimly hilarious survival story of a sci-fi-obsessed eighth grader.

Clark Sherman’s situation is desperate.

He’sjust crash-landed on an inhospitable planet–also known as FestusMiddle School–where the natives don’t take kindly to newcomers . . .particularly ones who love sci-fi and memorizing episodes of the hit TVshow Star Survivors.

Hostile natives include violentbullies, uncaring teachers, and the fiendishly evil Principal Denton,and Clark realizes he’ll be lucky enough to survive eighth grade,let alone thrive. But then, three kindred life forms make themselvesknown . . . and suddenly, Clark finds he not only has the will tosurvive, but the strength to fight back.

Sharp, painfully funny, and deeply moving, Revenge of the Star Survivors is a story for sci-fi fans– and for anyone who’s ever felt alone inthis Merschel’s witty writing, by turns hilarious andheartbreaking, brings Clark’s inner strength into the light.
