About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child is captivated by the night sky and starts asking big questions like, 'Are we alone in the universe?'.

It leans heavily into the emotional theme of curiosity, encouraging wonder and critical thinking rather than fear.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book touches on themes of government secrecy and the existence of alien life. The approach is entirely secular and investigative. It frames the unknown as a mystery to be explored, not a threat to be feared. The resolution for each case is, by nature, ambiguous, which serves the book's purpose of fostering curiosity and critical thought.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 7 to 9-year-old, especially a reluctant reader, who is obsessed with space, aliens, or unsolved mysteries. They enjoy 'what if' scenarios and are drawn to facts that feel like fiction. This child is ready for nonfiction but wants it to be as exciting as a storybook.
