A girl sets out to prove the existence of aliens with her grandfather’s story, and a group of aliens by accident land on Earth as some twist of fate.
Lenore Peabody, or Lemon, wants to continue Project Validation (a project she and her Grandpa Walt made to find the alien he met 30 years ago) the whole summer. So, one night, Lemon sneaks out of the house and into where Grandpa Walt had talked to Gnemo (the alien). There she sees an alien spaceship, setting her plan into action. Meanwhile, the aliens (the same kind that Grandpa Walt had met) try to fix their ship to get out of Earth and investigate the planet.
This book is out-of-this-world. I love the theme of trying to prove the existence of aliens (I believe aliens could be out there), and I love the aliens’ gnomish theme. Their technology is excellent too, and some could help us.
Lemon has a very naughty streak. She is very impulsive, which is pretty funny to read about, and has a serious side to her when it comes to her Grandpa Walt (who has Alzheimer’s Disease). Her Grandpa Walt is charming, and the aliens are interesting characters.
Give this book to any UFO and Alien Believers who love a story with heart.
