Synopses & Reviews
Max is convinced that aliens are coming for him, and he can't wait. Living with aliens will be a hundred times better than living with his pesky big brother and listening to his father's boring questions about school. His alien mom won't make him eat broccoli or wear clean underwear, and playing basketball will be a snap where there's little gravity. No one at home or school believes Max, even though he's an expert on space-but they'll be surprised when he's gone. Told in an authentically childlike voice, this is a funny and far-flying fantasy-which maybe isn't a fantasy after all!
Illustrated by Jack E. Davis.
