1 EARTH TO GRACE Don’t forget the talent show is on Monday said Mrs Buckle You have four more days to work on your acts I can’t wait to see what you do Grace felt a flutter in her belly Forget the talent show It was all she’d thought about since Mrs Buckle announced it The bell rang and the class spilled into the hallway 11

Er yes said the little alien But I think I’ll do something different this time Then he frowned I don’t know what though Grace was quiet She knew exactly what she wanted to do for the show She just wasn’t sure she was brave enough A few weeks ago Grace had made a surprising discovery Well two discoveries First she and her classmates had found Spork when his spaceship landed at their school That was a surprise for everyone Grace had made the second discovery on her own She was in her room singing along to the radio when the power went out The music stopped 13
