Aliens for Kids! Chapter Book Series for Boys and Girls: Book 1

Fun and humor: Can an alien family find a way to make a living on Earth?

Shipwrecked on earth and desperate to make money, an alien family decides to make a living by opening Aliens, Inc., an intergalactic event-planning business master-minded by nine-year-old alien boy, Kell Smith.

Kell discovers that his neighbor, Bree Hendricks, turns nine years old next month, and she wants a party with an alien theme. That should be simple as flying from star to star. But things aren’t that easy: Earthling’s ideas about aliens are totally wrong. Even worse, Principal Lynx is a UFO chaser and suspects aliens around every corner.

Will the Aliens totally blow the Aliens Party? Will Principal Lynx capture Kell and his family and turn them over to the government?

Will an alien boy find school friends?

Kell must find a way to fit into the school life and make friends. In art class, music class, and home room, he must learn the ways of Earthlings. His next door neighbor, Bree, makes it easier and helps the family find a way to make a living.
