"Club 51:: Earthbound Aliens" is the kind of lighthearted children's book that makes you laugh, makes you eager flip from one page to the other and leaves you wanting more after the story is over. Holly Benedetto does a wonderful job of bringing this story to life as Cooper Collins moves to Area 51 and finds himself weaving a tale of an alien abduction as a way to make friends but it ends up being a far more action-packed adventure of alien proportions as things start to unravel. The story is well written with a snappy, refreshingly original tone; using vivid imagery and strong dialogue this is a story that kids and parents alike will love and had me and my sons in stitches the whole way through. Overall, this was a wonderfully entertaining story that was well worth the read.
