Boom by Mark Haddon 194 pp.
Jimbo and Charlie bug the school teacher's lounge to find out if Jimbo is going to be expelled. What they discover is two teacher's speaking a bizarre language. Soon they are being chased by alien agents and transported to another planet via a "passageway".at a remote location on the Isle of Skye. With the help of Jimbo's sister they destroy the passageway and save the planet. Haddon originally published this juvenile fiction book under the title "Gridzbi Spudvetch" back in '92 with little success. The title change seems to have helped its popularity.
