Science Fiction




Pages: 208

Grade Level: 6


My favorite book is Interstellar Pig, by William Sleator. A boy named Barney has had a hard time out in the country. He is the only one out there. He lives 45 minutes away from any town.

One day three people named Zena, Manny, and Joe move next door in an old house. At first, his parents did not like them, but later Barney went over to their house everyday. Barney gets real close to them. Barney breaks into the house and almost falls asleep! While he was snooping through some papers, he found names of people he could not pronounce. Then he hears the door open and he runs to jump out the window. Lucky for him he was on the first floor.

The next day, Barney’s finds that his parents are missing. He goes over to the neighbor’s house and begins to play a really strange (and dangerous) game. They said that Barney had stolen some things and now he has to play this game. Later, Barney realizes it really isn’t a game at all! The secret is soon revealed…
