Stinker from Space — Pamela F. Service

Karen nearly ran when she saw the skunk, but something told her not to....

In the middle of an outerspace battle, space warrior Tsynq Yr is forced to land on earth. But because he is wounded he must switch to another body or die. Unfortunately, the only nearby body is a skunk!

But earth is no place for a highly trained space-age skunk. And he must get home with valuable military information for his planet's victory. Thank goodness Karen stops by. She loves freaky outerspace stories.

And with her computer-whiz friend Jonathan, the three of them hatch a hair-raising scheme involving all the local skunks and even the space shuttle to get their new friend back into orbit!
