Creeps
HER NAME IS KAYBEE KEEPER.
SHE'S THE NEW GIRL IN SCHOOL.
AND SHE'S S-T-R-A-N-G-E!
Even though Kaybee Keeper comes to school in a wild dress with tiny fishes and bubbles on it, Jeff Moody and Gwen Sharp thinks the other kids are creeps for laughing at her.
But day by day, Kaybee does more and more odd things, and Jeff just has to know why. So he spies on her and keeps notes and more...until he is absolutely sure that Kaybee is on a mission from outer space.
Brainy Gwen thinks Jeff has lost his mind and is headed for trouble. And she's right. And all his friends think so too. But Jeff will prove she's an alien if it is the last thing he does!
There is only one problem: What if he's right??

As a child this was one of my utmost favourite books and ever since I have refused to get rid of it.
I am ashamed that it is almost impossible to find any more as it is a brilliant story about a new girl who arrives at a school, and to all the students and even the teachers she seems strange (for Harry Potter fans, think Luna Lovegood). She is in fact so strange that two boys believe she is an alien.
Throughout the story the truth is revealed and many morals are realised.
A heart warming and funny story which is fascinating and absorbing.

I first read this book back when I was about 8 years old, I thought back then it was the best book that I had ever read. I recently found a copy of it and obviously had to buy it. Even now at the age of 35 I love it. It brings back so many memories. Just reading the first paragraph took me right back to my childhood. I just love it. No matter what age you are I think it's worth reading.

One of my favorite books when I was a child. I remembered that I used to read this book (once a month) when I started third grade.
The story is quite fascinating and entertaining. The characters have their own strengths and flaws - and that's okay. It makes them more realistic. They dealt with the consequence and learned from their mistake.
Well, kids can really be cruel to those who are different from them and sometimes get pressured to like or dislike by their peers' opinions.
And the lesson that I learned from this when I was a child is that real friends accept who you really are and won't force you to change the things that make you, you.

Reading this was such a blast of nostalgia. As a teacher, this feels even more realistic than when I read it as a kid around 35 years ago.
