Attack of the Evil Elvises By: Dan Greenburg
Illustrated by: Macky Pamintuan- Science Fiction (Chapter)

This book was about Aliens from out of space that can turn into humans if they have to. The characters (Ploo, Lek, and Klatu) in the book take their spaceship to Las Vegas, and when they get there they noticed that there were a whole bunch of people who looked alike. All of the people looked like Elvis and the aliens now humans could not understand why all of these people looked like Elvis impersonators. The impersonators were having a convention in Las Vegas when the aliens decided to go there. The aliens knew that these were just not any regular old impersonators; they thought there was something up with the Elvises. So the aliens decided to figure out what was going on. They would spy on the Elvises day and night and they finally figured it out. The Elvises had a evil plan of taking over the world. Of course Ploo, Klatu, and Lek were not going to allow them to take over the world. So they did everything they could to distract the Elvises to make them change their plans; and it worked.

You could use this book in the classroom by placing it in the class library. The book is a little long to have it as a class reading, and all of your students are not going to be on the same reading level. However, on that note you could use this as a small group reading book. You can have multiple copies in the class and have the students read this book that is on this reading level. While these students are reading this book, the other students who are on the same reading level can be reading another multiple copied book.
