Shock the Monkey — Neal Shusterman

Noah Prime must set out to save his friends and the universe once again in this action-packed, alien-filled, hilarious novel in the New York Times bestselling The N.O.A.H. Files series.

Noah Prime never expected to wind up a fugitive hunted by aliens. 

To be honest, he had never even believed in aliens…until a team of them blew up his house. He escaped -- and managed to save the world -- by using his mysterious ability to harness the traits of every animal on earth. Now he's in hiding, and thinks all is well.…

…Until his friend Ogden buys a star for Claire, the most popular girl in school. However, instead of a quaint romantic notion, it turns out to be an actual real estate deal -- and aliens from that star system abduct Claire to take her to the nasty, trash-filled planet she now owns.

It's up to Noah, Sahara, and Ogden to cross the cosmos in search of Claire to save her and her strange new world from the evilest body-snatching worms in the galaxy. This time it's going to take a lot more than walrus blubber, cheetah speed, or skunk funk to save the day…it's going to take friendship of the most extraordinary and extraterrestrial variety.
