Space Brat

Space Brat

The "Space Brat" book series includes "Space Brat", "Space Brat 2: Blork's Evil Twin", "Space Brat 3: The Wrath of Squat", "Space Brat 4: Planet of the Dips", and "Space Brat 5: The Saber-toothed Poodnoobie".

According to comments from the author, Bruce Coville, the first "Space Brat" story version was written in 1977. He intended to make it a picture book, and his wife (Katherine Coville) even drew a few sample illustrations. The editor introduced to the idea, however, "didn't think kids would be interested in reading about a noseless green humanoid from outer space." Ironically, this was a few years before Steven Spielberg's movie "E.T." was released. Though E.T. was not green, he was a noseless alien.

Fourteen years after first piecing it together, Bruce Coville sent his version in chapter form to his editor at Minstrel Books. The "Space Brat" series became so popular that many children's recommended reading lists have at least one of the books on them.
