Ok, core memory unlocked: i remember that this author really leaned on cliche

A wave of terror washed over me

It's all over the place in this series

I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago.

I guess I'm too young for this book but I am getting strong Animorphs vibes off it

Great series.

How many were in that series?

My Teacher is an Alien

My Teacher Friend My Brain

My Teacher Flunked the Planet

EDIT: My Teacher Glows in the Dark was 3rd in the series.

Really cool when you can find the ones with the postcards in the back to order books for $3 in the mail.

IIRC, the series builds up to the Alien Galaxy Council debating on whether or not to "flunk the planet Earth" (and whatever means that would have taken) in the last book. Don't remember how it ends

based on how things are going, i assume they flunked us.
