About This Book
In Gordon Korman's humorous chapter book, fourth-grader Devin expects a cool exchange student but gets Stan, a seemingly nerdy kid who turns out to be an alien from outer space. As Devin navigates the challenges of keeping Stan's secret and helping him understand Earth customs, the story explores themes of acceptance, friendship, and looking beyond first impressions. This book is perfect for children aged 7-11 who enjoy lighthearted science fiction and laugh-out-loud humor, offering a fun read-aloud experience for younger listeners and an engaging independent read for elementary students.
