Middle Fiction 8-12-year-olds

Earthlings are soooo ugly. They only have one head, and just two squinty little eyes. They’re bald no scales of fur except for a scrap on top, which they call a hairstyle. They don’t even have a tentacle! They cannot zoom, or even fly. And the smell! Flowkee is helping his dad to study Earthlings by disguising himself as a schoolboy. But he’s not prepared for how stupid they are or how disgusting. In his letters to his best friend, he describes his adventures among the strange Earthlings, who have no aerials, lights, whirlers or even winkers! But how long can Flowkee keep his true identity secret? And when disaster strikes, can he save Earth from total destruction?
