BRING BACK ROD'S BODY!
Rod Allbright has found his father -- but lost his own body! It's been stolen by BKR, the most fiendish villain in the galaxy, which leaves Rod sharing the body of a one-eyed, blue alien named Seymour.
Alas, when it comes time to go after BKR, Rod is forced to stay behind so that the little villain won't be able to get at the world-destroying secret locked in Rod's brain.
Stranded on an alien planet with only Madame Pong, Seymour, Snout, and his annoying cousin Elspeth for company, Rod fumes at being left behind. Little does he know he's about to be drawn into a web of alien plots that will test his courage to the utmost -- and ultimately bring him face-to-face with BKR.

What planet

Madame Pong tapped her forehead against mine, which I guess is something they do on her home planet. At last it was Grakker’s turn. He stared up at me for quite a while, then finally growled, “If ever I have a ship again, there will be a place in my crew for you, Deputy Allbright.” “There is no captain I would rather serve,” I replied. Grakker nodded, then backed away without
of course. I don’t have the slightest idea, I replied. I wanted to ask Snout about it, but he had broken his contact with us. We turned to the ship, and I studied it with pleasure. (One of the few good things about being stuck inside Seymour was that he had the most phenomenal eyesight you can imagine. I saw things more clearly, and in more detail, than I ever had before.) The ship was sleek and powerful, and it pleased me that it belonged to my father. * * * The room we sat in to talk

Even as he spoke, we heard another rumble. The ship lurched sideways. “We’ve got to get out of here!” cried Dad. “Right now! Flinge Iblik, contact the Ferkel. Tell them to follow me.” Snout went to the ship’s radio. No sooner had he delivered
