The Star Beast

The Star Beast

Compelling coming-of-age SF adventure from legendary SF master and multiple New York Times best-seller Robert A. Heinlein. A young boy and his friend run away from home to protect a cute (if rather large) alien pet that turns out to be much more than just a pet indeed. Afterword by Wen Spencer.

Lummox has been the pet of the Stuart family for generations. With eight legs, a thick hide and huge (and growing) size, Lummox is nobodyâ€™s idea of manâ€™s best friend. Nevertheless, John Stuart XI, descendant of the starman who originally brought Lummox back to Earth, loves him. But when Lummox eats a neighborâ€™s car and begins to grow again, the Feds decide enough is enough. John isnâ€™t about to let the authorities take his pet away, and with his best friend friend Betty, determines to save Lummox even if it takes leaving the life heâ€™s known forever.

An all time science fiction coming-of-age classic from seven-time Hugo winner and Dean of Science Fiction, Robert A. Heinlein.
