1-3Alien in My Pocket series.
Illustrated by
Macky Pamintuan.
Zack's best friend Olivia and Amp, the small blue alien who crashed in his room, are last-minute additions to the family's annual camping trip. When the trio gets lost, Amp uses his scientific approach to steer the kids to safety. As usual, abundant black-and-white illustrations and a blend of silly sci-fi and palatable science (a related project is included) will please new readers.
