A Heinlein Classic Sci-Fi Comedy of Extraterrestrial Pets, Interstellar Diplomacy, and Royal Origins

High school student John Thomas Stuart XI lives in a future Colorado town with Lummox, a giant, eight-legged, stone-eating alien pet brought back to Earth by his great-grandfather a century earlier. When Lummox inadvertently eats a neighbor's car and destroys public property, local authorities order the beast destroyed.

Before the execution order can be carried out, a armada of advanced alien warships enters Earth's orbit. Terran Department of Spatial Affairs officials discover that Lummox is actually the lost, beloved child ruler of the powerful Hroshia empire, turning a suburban pet dispute into a high-stakes interstellar crisis.
