A note for parents
This classic sci-fi adventure by Bruce Coville follows a boy who discovers his teacher is an alien and joins him on a space journey. The story is lighthearted and engaging, focusing on friendship, acceptance, and curiosity rather than danger or conflict. While there are some mildly tense moments and alien encounters, the tone remains whimsical and age-appropriate for middle-grade readers.
