111. Slaves of Spiegel by Daniel Pinkwater. Funnier than Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars, half as long, and goofier; Sargon the Great, junk food pirate king of the planet Spiegel, concocts a cooking contest in which earthlings Steve and Norman, owner and assistant chef of the Magic Moscow--the most popular restaurant in Hoboken--are among the abductee contestants. There aren't really any twists here, but that's OK because Pinkwater gives planets names like Fred and Schwartz. I mean, that's not the only reason to like this book, but it's a good one.
