(3) 1-3 Kid from Planet Z series. Illustrated by Louis Thomas. Zeke, his parents, and their talking cat unexpectedly crash their spaceship and must acclimate to the oddities of life on Earth while hiding their identities as aliens from Planet Z. The new chapter-book series lightly and humorously explores feeling like an outsider. In the monochromatic spot illustrations, Zeke is rendered with darker skin than his classmates. Review covers these Kid from Planet Z titles: Crash! and Don't Sneeze!
