About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their early reader is ready for chapter books but still needs a story that reinforces positive social skills. It's perfect for a child who loves superheroes and action, but could use a gentle model for teamwork, kindness, and welcoming others who are different. The story follows a group of friends, the Super School Kids, who discover a lost and frightened baby alien. Instead of a big battle, their 'super' mission is to combine their skills to comfort the alien and help it find its way home. This book is a fun, accessible adventure that cleverly wraps lessons about empathy and collaboration in an exciting sci-fi package, making it an excellent choice for the 6-to-8-year-old set.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The primary sensitive topic is the distress of being lost and separated from family, experienced by the baby alien. This is handled metaphorically and gently. It serves as a catalyst for the children to show empathy and care. The resolution is entirely hopeful, with a successful and happy reunion.
