Alien landing sites
Jessica Rudolph
- Reading
- Try reading one story at a time, pausing afterwards to distinguish what the story says happened from what it establishes. If the spooky art feels intense, look through the pictures together before continuing.
- Themes
- Alien encounters: The book presents four spooky stories about alien landing sites, including a sample scene with a glowing object that has crash-landed. The book is identified as narrative nonfiction, but how it distinguishes reported claims from speculation is not established.
- Spooky storytelling: The stories and art are described as spooky; the contents include a flatwoods monster and an almost-abduction. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The book is expressly presented as spooky and potentially terrifying, and its sample scene includes a crash-landed glowing object. A child who is sensitive to eerie imagery may want to preview the illustrations together with you.
