See Additional Details
Who is Henry P. Baloney? An alien schoolkid who has to think of a very good reason for being late to szkola again. Otherwise it is Permanent Lifelong Detention.

This New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller follows Henry’s tall tale of his lost zimulis with graphically created piksas that help explain just exactly what Henry is talking about. An out-of-this-world experience, the book is told in at least twenty different Earth languages, and is probably the best excuse ever for being late to szkola.

This is a great book to use to teach context clues. The author substitutes important words in the story with words that just don't make sense. There is a key in the back of the book to explain where all of the "nonsense" words come from. It is clever and lighthearted and a great teaching tool.
