Interstellar Pig may be his most popular work and the author believes it is his funniest.

Sleator (pronounced Slay-tir) is the author of close to 30 works for children and teens. Young teen readers will related and admire Leo’s courage through the rest of the story – a classic, albeit somewhat predictable, good versus evil sci-fi tale, so popular with young readers growing and questioning their image and ability to fit in. His next contact with the aliens provides a mission and he moves through an old television-like set of adventures with vivid images conjured and edge-of-the-seat scenes. Leo is sent home but finds himself accused of wrongdoing and the plot thickens. Against the wishes of their parents, they set out on a quest to show Tim’s art but are captured by aliens. Lost time and alien capture surround this tale of Leo, a teen struggling to find his best friend, Tim.
