Book Cover & Preview Text
This statement appears on bottom of page 18 and continues on page 19 with Chapter 5 – Intruders Sabotage Virus Cure Deliver: As the transporter landed on the flower shop’s flat roof, robot Cube announced, “We have company.” A read-and-white chopper twice the size of the transporter landed next to it. Jumping off the chopper, two humans dressed in spacesuits and armed with automatic weapons raced to the transporter’s door. Inside the transporter a message appeared on the computer screens: “Pyramid, let intruders in and then out, and ladybugs, do not fly,” declared the alien captain. He added, “That’s an order.” The transporter door opened. Carrying a metal box on their belts, the two space-suited figures rushed to the peace lily plant, and as they yanked the virus carrier from each ladybug, a screaming “Ouch” resonated inside the transporter’s walls. The two intruders drew their weapons, and pointing them at the PQR robots, the intruder in front yelled, “If you resist, we will pulverize you.”

About the Book
Extraterrestrials from the planet Infinite in the Andromeda Galaxy land their spaceship near the home of the Bopper family: five ladybugs in Missionville, Texas. The extraterrestrials recruit the ladybugs to be part of their mission to save children dying from a virus in the town of Hopeville, Texas. Through their own trained robots, the aliens equip the ladybugs with a microchip containing the virus’s cure to be transported to the children’s hospital. Though humans are puzzled by the aliens’ advanced technology and visionary gifts, they join forces with robots, and the ladybugs battle evil and danger with optimism and hope.
