content

One night a spaceship with aliens lands at 13-year-old Tommy's. They move in with him and soon start some nonsense with Tommy. Often misunderstandings arise when the aliens misinterpret human behavior.

characters

  • Tommy Cadle: The main character. He is wearing a green sweater and gray shorts.
  • Tommy's parents: They only appear indirectly through a loudspeaker and regularly admonish their boy.
  • Dinko: Small, green alien, clever and the main character of the aliens.
  • Gumpers: An alien. He is a simpleton and often gets everyone into trouble.
  • Flip: An alien. Flip is the only one of the characters who does not speak, only draws attention to himself by making noises.
  • Swanky: An alien, similar to an ant. His biggest fear is that his toenails could grow unequal in length. He is arrogant and uncooperative, and as a result regularly gets others into trouble.
  • Scruffy: an alien being; he's Dinko's pet.
  • Gabby: Tommy's friend - at least from her point of view. Tommy doesn't want to know anything about her and always has to escape her advances.
  • Melba Manners: An unpleasant neighbor girl and a know-it-all who always annoys Tommy.
  • Granville DeSpray: Tommy's archenemy. He's in love with Melba Manners and keeps thinking that Tommy is trying to steal her from him.
  • Clinton Filmore Jefferson XIII: A boy who is very athletic and who always lets Tommy know how unsportsmanlike he is.
  • Captain Spangley: A minor character, a water-shy captain who gives the children useless advice.
  • Go Getter: A vehicle. With him, the aliens land at Tommy's and use it during their stay.
