The Invasion by K.A. Applegate

We're off the map of weirdness by this point.   How to describe this bizarre, mysterious, fantastical but also grounded, fun with very real consequences at stake, easy to read with heavy themes, 90s book? Go through the janitor's closet and meet under the school for THE INVASION (1996) by K.A. Applegate. Leave your prior preceptions at the door, don't judge this book by its many covers, and let's jump in! Seriously, don't even google it.    Spoilers in this one!   Interesting word of the book: monstrous adjective frightful or hideous, especially in appearance; extremely ugly. shocking or revolting; outrageous:monstrous cruelty. extraordinarily great; huge; immense:a monstrous building. deviating grotesquely from the natural or normal form or type. having the nature or appearance of a fabulous monster.   -Theme: Magical Transition by Kevin McLeod   -Additional music and sound effects from zapsplat.com   -If you'd like to support the podcast or commission an episode, https://ko-fi.com/spookyaurelien
