Synopsis
Barney's boring seaside vacation suddenly becomes more interesting when the cottage next door is occupied by three exotic neighbors who are addicted to a game they call "Interstellar Pig"
Publishers Weekly
Barney, 16, is drawn into a board game with strangers who have moved into the house next door; only when he is fully controlled by the three does he find out that the game is real, and losing means the destruction of Earth. PW reported that ``Sleator's taut tale will undoubtedly raise reader's hackles and incite nervous laughs.'' (12-up)
