Dahl, Michael

"After school, a boy boards an odd-looking bus. Inside, the floor, the seats, and even the ceiling are covered with chewed-up wads of gum. Soon, the sticky wads grow thicker, climb higher, come alive . . . and the bus windows will not open! Can the boy escape before the ooze takes control?"--Provided by publisher.

"After play rehearsal, students board a bus that no one recognizes. Soon, the sky grows darker, the moon and stars arrive early, and the students see something they didn't expect: the lights of their city far, far below them! The strange bus is drifting into outer space . . . and the students are running out of air"--Provided by publisher.

"Aboard a strange-looking bus, a girl hears whining coming from a hatch beneath her seat. The whines sound like calls for help. When the girl lifts the hatch to investigate, a hand reaches out and grabs her leg. Then another hand grabs her and another! Are the body parts reaching for help . . . or do they want something more?"--Provided by publisher.

Pursued by the Alcatraz guards, Erro and Zak take refuge in the Phantom Forest, a dark wood of giant trees and extremely dangerous beasts where they find it safer to travel on the tree branches and avoid the huge hungry rats below--until the tree branch they have landed on turns out to be an enormous dragon-like flying serpent who does not appreciate being ridden.

Zak Nine, his alien friend Erro, and another prisoner have found a small spacecraft and if they can dodge the missiles that the guards are firing after them perhaps they can finally escape from planet Alcatraz; but there is something wrong with the stars in front of them--they are not really stars at all, and now they find themselves confronted by Alcatraz's biggest secret.
