This is a fun quirky sic-fi book that has a dry sense of humor and a lot of situational comedy. It isn't really my favorite type of book, but can see how 3rd-5th graders would find a lot of enjoyment in it. I did have an issue with

Aidan lives with his parents at the Mercury Inn, the motel they own on the Florida space coast. Because of it's proximity to Cape Canaveral, it is a great place to watch spacecraft launches. This particularly appeals to Aidan's best friend Louis, a UFO nut with a prosthetic leg due to a car accident. But this particular launch is special, when a large seemingly unidentified flying object is seen overhead after a massive power outage. Suddenly tourists, reporters, and government agents descend on the hotel to try and find the aliens. It is up to Aidan, Louis, and their new friend Dru to solve the mystery of the alien visitors before it is too late. Fast paced and full of fascinating UFO theories. Pair this with Chris Grabenstein's [b:Home Sweet Motel|28502766|Home Sweet Motel (Welcome to Wonderland, #1)|Chris Grabenstein|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1469351157s/28502766.jpg|48656110] for more Florida Motel fun! Highly recommended to alien enthusiasts, grades 3 & up.
