Chapter Book Series for Boys and Girls: Book 4
Fun and Humor: Detectives are at Work!

Kell makes a startling discovery: he has zigzag fingerprints. Worse, Mrs. Lynx and the Society of Alien Chasers know about the fingerprints, and they are on the hunt. Everyone turns detective in this continuing adventure of an alien family from planet Bix, who struggles to make ends meet by putting on birthday parties for kids. But the stakes are higher than ever because Kell’s mom has just laid a beautiful green egg. With Mrs. Lynx on the prowl, can Kell and Bree keep the egg safe?

Do Historians Act as Detectives?

For History Day, Kell and friends must figure out which teacher created a special graffiti poster. And graffiti just got a lot more fun when a white concrete fence gets a new coat of paint.

A new spin on books for readers in grades two, three, four, and five

Industry Reviews

Publisher's Weekly called Book 1, The Aliens Inc. Series "amusing" and "engaging and accessible." http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-62944-021-7

SLJ says, "This fun chapter book series is out of this world."

School Library Journal Review says Book 2: Gr 1-3-Shipwrecked on Earth and desperate to make money, an alien family from the planet Bix decides to make a living by opening Aliens, Inc., an intergalactic event-planning business master-minded by the nine-year-old alien, Kell Smith. In this continuing adventure, Kell makes the startling discovery that he has zigzag fingerprints. Worse, Mrs. Lynx and the Society of Alien Chasers know about the fingerprints and they are on the hunt. To add to the stakes, Kell's mom has just laid a beautiful green egg, Kell's brother. Can Kell keep his fingerprints and his brother under wraps? Kell's observations of Earth and details about life on planet Bix are amusing. The black-and-white line art further enlivens an engaging, accessible story. Kell's struggles to fit in will resonate with readers. Reminiscent of Ray O'Ryan's "Galaxy Zack" (Little Simon). VERDICT This fun chapter book series is out of this world.-Paula Huddy, The Blake School-Highcroft Campus, Wayzata, MN School Library Journal, 2/1/15.
