The first book in an amazing series, this book gently draws us into the world of Jefferson Elementary School and the lives of Harris, Roxy, and Zeke, who's of course the Alien Next Door. The central tension is: who knows about Zeke's identity, and who will find out next? Will his powers betray him, or his unique food from his home planet? And when someone finds out, what do they do? This was my daughter's first chapter book, a great first one with vivid pictures on every other page. The chapters are short and manageable, and she finished each one eagerly awaiting the next. Now we can't wait for book 10 to come out in April, can't get enough! The book itself gets five stars. But for some reason this ebook format is awful, there's one letter on every page. Maybe the pictures are messing it up, I don't know. But either way, don't get the ebook, get the real thing, it's terrific!
