In the first book of the brand-new early chapter book series, the
Alien Next Door, an alien boy named Zeke tries to fit in and adjust to
life on Earth, while a classmate, Harris, suspects that Zeke might not
be quite what he claims to be.
Zeke the alien is on his way to his first day of school, feeling down
because he has to start over again on a new planet, as his scientist
parents constantly move to wherever their research takes them. When he
gets to school, no one seems to notice anything strange or different
about him except Harris, a kid obsessed with science fiction and aliens.
Harris sees Zeke doing extraordinary things but can't convince anyone,
least of all his best friend, Roxy, that Zeke might be an alien. Roxy
just thinks Harris is jealous that she's becoming friends with Zeke. But
when Roxy invites Zeke over to Harris's house, will Harris find a way to
prove that he's right?
