Aliens on Vacation was a fun, entertaining read most appropriate for readers in grades 4-7. It would make a great introduction to science fiction since it is written in the style of typical middle grades realistic fiction.”
“Not bad as Aliens go!”

This book is about a boy named Scrub who moves in with this grandmother while his parents are getting a divorce. When Scrub settles in he realizes that his grandmother lets alien stay at her house as a vacation sight. During the book, Scrub helps his grandmother entertain and disguise the aliens. The book is a entertaining and funny book. The presence of aliens will interest children and make them want to read the book.
