Interstellar Pig by William Sleator
4.0

This was a childhood favorite that I have kept on the shelf all this time. I re-read it as part of the SPL Book Bingo challenge, and it did not disappoint. I can totally see why my younger self enjoyed this: It is smart, wry, and contains some solid action. I love the nerdy teen protagonist and the "bons vivants" aliens. It blends the vibe of a New England ghost story and a Science Fiction thriller. I am recommending this to my kids, who are now the right age to enjoy it.
