Spencer Hurley and the Aliens Book One: The Abduction (Spencer Hurley and the Aliens!) I haven't read a book this exciting for along time! Even though this is written for the 9-13 year old crowd, I think that many adults would greatly enjoy reading this adventure also! Fast paced from page one & all the way through to the end~ I could not put it down & finished the book in one day! You will quickly care for the main characters & there are so many different aliens and creatures in this story, each vividly described & illustrated, that I actually pictured the scenes as if I was watching a movie! Lots of nail-biting moments & plenty of funny ones too! I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys sci-fi & Space Aliens & I am eagerly anticipating Book 2 of this series!
enjoyable read!

As an upper elementary teacher, I am constantly looking for books that will encourage my students to make a transition from "picture books" to "chapter books" and that will nurture a desire to read. Spencer Hurley and the Aliens provides both of these. Terry Locke doesn't just entertain with his words, but draws the reader in with his comical illustrations. I read this story aloud to my third graders and they were crowding in to see if there was an illustration as they were introduced to each new character. With characters that we befriended in our imaginations, we are anxious to find out what happens to them in Book Two of this series. As a teacher, I can rest assured that I have found a book for boys and girls to read for the best reason of all- for enjoyment!
Wow, such an adventure !!!

Spencer Hurley and The Aliens Book One "The Abduction" is such a great story. This book is one of a few books that I have encountered that I could not sit down. This book grasped my attention from the first chapter to the very last. The book causes you to think about the story and opens up your imagination to the fullest. Like the good old days of having a story that keeps your imagination going without a pause!! My daughter that is 9, also enjoyed this book, and we are looking forward to the next Adventure...
Abducted by this book!

As an adult, I never stopped being an avid childrens-book reader (e.g. Harry Potter et al) and have found yet another series to keep me entertained and hooked, awaiting for the next adventure. Book One in the Spencer Hurley series is just the beginning of what I expect to be a continuous and exciting journey, with lovable kids, adults, and aliens, and of course, the not-so-lovable. Book One captures its readers early on, inviting us into the lives of its three main characters. As we embrace these youngsters and cheer them on, the author takes his readers on unexpected twists and turns, unsure where we, and Spencer, will end up next. The author's vivid and colorful imagination, as well as the use of illustrations, enriches his storytelling. A must-read for any kid at heart.
A fun and exciting tale

Prepare to be beamed aboard an alien vessel that's full of strange creatures and goopy cuisine. From the first page to the last, Spencer Hurley and the Aliens is a fun and exciting tale that I couldn't put down. Spencer may be the lead character but, his bumbling friend, Ryan definitely steals the spotlight. With this being Book 1 of a series, I can't wait to see what mess they get into next.
