Aliens for breakfast is a pretty good sci-fi thriller for younger readers. Richard, an elementary school student eats his breakfast and discovers that an alien, Aric has found his way into his cereal. Aric needs help and enlists Richard as his comrade. The two must work together to foil Dorf, an evil alien from the planet Ganoob, who is masquerading as the popular kid in school's, evil plot. Of course this story is fun and entertaining, but it also allows kids to understand that people aren't always what they seem. As we follow Dorf, who is portrayed as the cool, popular, perfect student through his routine at school, we realize that he isn't what he portrays to be. There are a couple other stories in the series and are always fun to pick up and read.
