reviewed E.T., the book of the Green Planet by William Kotzwinkle

very middle grade fiction

Not great literature! Did E.T. need this sequel? No. But for the middle grade plot and Eliot-as-a-fumbling-hormonal-pre-teen, this was a fun absurdist romp on E.T.'s home planet acting out a 1000-year-old miscreant getting "in the soup".
