Items related to Margot and Mateo Save the World
A hilarious—and slimy—alien adventure (set on Earth) that the bestselling author of Zombie Chasers, John Kloepfer, calls "fast paced, out-of-this-world fun!" Selected by the Wisconsin Library Association for Outstanding Achievement in children's literature.
When Margot Blumenthal removes a bright blue slug alien attached to Mateo Flores’s back, the school play co-stars know it’s definitely not going to be a regular day at West Cove Middle School.
They reluctantly team up and soon discover that the mayor and countless other adults, including Mateo’s dad, are infected—which means that West Cove, and possibly all of Earth, is in danger.
What will they (and their new scientist friend) do? Ditch class and protect humankind, of course—because one unexcused absence doesn’t matter when the world is at stake!
This stand-alone middle grade novel is fun, silly, and full of adventure. Young readers will speed through it...if they can stop laughing long enough to turn the page.

About the Author:
Darcy Miller is the author of Margot and Mateo Save the World and Roll. She lives in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, with her two children and librarian husband. Their cat, Jeffreys, deserves his own sentence. Their kitten, Stompy, does not. You can visit Darcy online at www.darcyamiller.com.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4–6—Margot Blumenthal, an Olympic-bound wrestler, is relatively new to West Cove Middle School. When she observes the usually easygoing Mateo Flores punching his best friend in the nose on the school bus, she decides to see what's up. It turns out that Mateo has an alien slug attached to his back that is controlling his actions. Using her wrestling skills, Margot de-slugs Mateo, only to discover that many adults in the town also have slugs controlling them. The two kids team up with Calvin Biggs, a research assistant at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (in town to help remove a 47-ton sperm whale decaying on the town beach), in a heroic effort to stop the alien slug invasion that is underway. In the process of working together to save the world, Mateo, a perpetual people-pleaser, and Margot, a friendless know-it-all, become true friends, a welcome change for both. The wacky plot is fast moving, and both Margot and Mateo are relatable and likable characters. VERDICT A great hook sets off this offbeat and highly enjoyable read. A solid purchase for most collections that is likely to entice even reluctant readers.—Ragan O'Malley, Saint Ann's School, Brooklyn
