Synopsis:

Auggie is trying to learn the habits of earth people. For his first mission, he set three goals: Attend a sleepover, go on a social outing, and attend a birthday party. Along the way, in trying to achieve his goals, he often runs afoul of his teacher and finds himself at the end of many incidents of miscommunication.

Review

This was an entertaining little story. There was a lot of humor that resulted from Auggie’s not understanding our language and culture. Some of the humor though, such as thinking GrandMa was from Massachusetts (Ma) and GrandPa was from Pennsylvania (Pa) seemed like it may be above the heads of the target audience.

The characters though really made me think they were kids, though at times, I think the language and thinking patterns were a little too developed for that age group. However, it’s been a very, very long time since I was nine, so they may be more sophisticated then I was at that age.

Overall though, I’d definitely recommend this book to parents and grandparents for their 9 year olds, or those around that age. There was no objectionable language, and I think it would be appropriate for almost any child, and I think it’s one they’d definitely enjoy.

We are pleased to be able to offer our readers a copy of Auggie the Alien. To enter go here and enter.
