Now Prez has come to live with them. But, though he seems cheerful and helpful, he never says a word. Then one day Prez answers the door to someone claiming to be his relative. This small, loud stranger carries a backpack, walks with a swagger and goes by the name of Sputnik. As Prez dithers on the doorstep, Sputnik strolls right past him and introduces himself to everyone in the household. Prez is amazed at the response. The family pat Sputnik on the head, call him a good boy and drop food into his mouth. It seems they all think Sputnik is a dog. It's only Prez who thinks otherwise. But Prez soon finds himself having to defend the family from the chaos and danger unleashed by Sputnik, as household items come to life - like a TV remote that fast-forwards people: 'Anyone can do it, it's just that people don't read the instructions properly'; and a toy lightsaber that entertains guests at a children's party, until one of them is nearly decapitated by it -- and Prez is going to have to use his voice to explain himself. 521 1 $a Ages 8-12. 650 0 $a Human-alien encounters $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a End of the world $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Foster children $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Communication in families $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Science fiction. 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Family / Orphans & Foster Homes. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Science Fiction. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Social Themes / Friendship. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Capaldi, Peter, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806013653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B3C5860D7AA11EAACEF483997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
