Bøger i Dear Earthling serien

Dethbert Jones is your average ten-year-old - only he lives on the planet Crank with his pet chicken-snail, Precious, and his robot best friend Andi Social. When he and Andi join the Space Cadets, a Scouts-like organization, they are totally smooshed at the prospect of going to Space Camp where they'll learn to pilot a real shuttlecraft and disintegrate weapons of mass destruction. Blamtastic! To earn his cosmic correspondent badge, Dethbert begins writing to an earthling - and boy, does he have a lot to write about! Between questions about Earth food, culture, and activities, Dethbert recounts his experiences attempting to avoid his horrible little sister, impress his animal-obsessed crush, and fly a space shuttle. Misadventures - from hairy ankles to crash landings - abound, but Dethbert's curiosity and enthusiasm can't be crushed, not by anything in this galaxy, anyway!

In Death in Acadia, Randi Minetor gathers the stories of fatalities that have occurred in Maine's Acadia National Park, from falls to exposure to cardiac arrest--even getting swept out to sea--and presents dozens of misadventures.
