297C: He transmits radio waves through his dental fillings (Solved)

I’m looking for a book for my sister.  It was in elementary school, and she said the book had an orange cover and it was about a boy?child? who transmitted radio waves through his dental fillings.

    Probably Fat Men from Space, by Daniel Pinkwater. The boy gets a filling and starts receiving broadcasts from alien ship about to invade Earth, and the aliens turn out to be fat men who eat all our junk food. I think the boy learns to tune the radio using the metal spiral from a notebook.
