Book Dragons Book Club is for kids in grades 1 and 2. This month we are reading The Alien Next Door #1: The New Kid by A. I. Newton. Read the book on your own and then join us at the library for a fun discussion, related activity, and snack.*

First 10 kids to register may pick up a library copy of the book to borrow at the desk in the Children's Department.

Summary: Zeke the alien is on his way to his first day of school, feeling down because he has to start over again on a new planet, as his scientist parents constantly move to wherever their research takes them. When he gets to school, no one seems to notice anything strange or different about him except Harris, a kid obsessed with science fiction and aliens. Harris sees Zeke doing extraordinary things but can't convince anyone, least of all his best friend, Roxy, that Zeke might be an alien. Roxy just thinks Harris is jealous that she's becoming friends with Zeke. But when Roxy invites Zeke over to Harris's house, will Harris find a way to prove that he's right?
