Out of Gas

Themes: science fiction, spaceships, aliens, science, helping others. Trey can't play soccer unless he comes up with a project for the science fair. When he and his dog Max go for a walk in the woods to think, they meet some unlikely new friends with a big problem of their own-their spaceship is broken, and they aren't sure how to fix it. Finding a solution isn't easy, but it might give Trey the project idea that he needs. This series of short 60- to 70-page novels was designed to engage a broad spectrum of striving readers.
