Maddy and Grace have a sleepover, and they are having so much fun! They ride their bikes, play games, and bake cookies before going to bed. In the middle of the night, a light fills up their room, and they wake up to find an alien! The alien tells them not to be afraid and that he is a child in his world. He offers to take them to explore his ship. On the spaceship, Maddy and Grace have a lot of fun learning about the alien's life and playing with the different tools around the spaceship. They also meet many different types of aliens from different planets. Even though all of them are so different, they get along very well! Maddy and Grace thought they would be very different from the aliens, but will they be able to realize how similar they are once they work together?

Opinion: 

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. The plot was very engaging, and I liked how the author was able to add the science fiction element of aliens to Maddy and Grace's sleepover. I also liked how throughout the book, Maddy and Grace stayed very open-minded even when they were meeting the aliens who were very different than them. The author did a great job of using aliens to represent things that are different than us, and I liked how Maddy and Grace were able to find similarities between themselves and the aliens by the end of the story. This book showed the importance of being kind to others even if they are different than you, and how we are all more similar than we think! Lastly, I enjoyed the colorful illustrations in this book as I think they helped me understand all the new settings in this book such as the spaceship and different planets. This is a great book for young readers who like Science Fiction!
