"I will never Touch Down Again!"

corny, but entertaining. This book was a classic. A girl, finishing up homework on a buisness computer gets contacted by an extraterrestrial life form who suggests that he is visiting earth soon. They keep in comunication throughout the whole book. Whether the alien is real or just a prank is really up to the reader to decide.

She's a Nut Alright...

The computer nut is great, and that is all I have to say. You can't read the story here. Go ahead! Buy it!

Da Bomb

It's Surpising, I couldn't put it down. I wanted to keep reading and reading until I read it 5 times. One of the best I read since I could read chapter books!!!!!!

Thrilling comedy

This book is about a girl named Kate who keeps getting sent messages on the computer. You will enjoy The Computer Nut if you like books about about aliens. I recommend this book for its thrilling comedy.

One day you are talking to someone you never met. You get so interested that you are going to meet that person. Kate did that and while talking to a person BB-9, finds out this guy is a alien.......
