E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, by William Kotzwinkle 1982 Book Club Ed. Screenplay

Book is in good preowned condition for it's vintage age. One starry night in suburban California, a group of alien botanists' trip to Earth is interrupted by a shady team of federal agents. In their hurry to vacate, the aliens accidentally leave one of their own behind: a squashy little alien called E.T. Later, a boy named Elliott hears strange noises in his backyard and almost literally stumbles across E.T. Naturally, he's stoked. The problem is, nobody believes him—not his older brother, Michael; not his younger sister, Gertie; not his mother, Mary, who's raising Elliott and his siblings on her own. Elliott tries to lure E.T. back to his house using Reese's Pieces...and it works. He hides E.T. in his closet, and then introduces him to Michael and Gertie. Elliott swears both to secrecy. Meanwhile, the menacing federal agents are still hot on E.T.'s interplanetary trail and the audience is getting a fun taste of E.T.'s weird noises. As the kids get to know E.T., they discover that he has special powers. Case in point: he can make items like balls and bikes levitate. Oh, and he resurrects some dead geraniums. He also seems to share a special bond with Elliott (or, as E.T. would say, Elllll-eeee-uuuuut), and Elliott feels it, too. Please see photos as they are part of the description.
