Alien in My Pocket #7: Telescope Troubles Kindle Edition

by Nate Ball (Author), Macky Pamintuan (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 30 ratings

It's Zack and Amp to the rescue in the seventh book in Nate Ball's beloved Alien in My Pocket series! With a tale that's sure to tickle the funny bone and a do-it-yourself hover-ship science experiment, it's an adventure readers are sure to enjoy.

Life has been no picnic since Amp crash-landed his spaceship through Zack McGee's window. But when Amp takes up stargazing, he makes a huge discovery that will take their zany adventures to the next level. It appears that the Erdian aliens are at it again! The alien invasion of Earth is in progress, and it's up to Zack, Amp, and Olivia to leap into action. But this time it'll take more than a little gadgetry and a few white lies to get Amp out of trouble and to save the world!

Like every book in the Alien in My Pocket series, Telescope Troubles mixes Common Core–aligned science and safe, hands-on experiments with a hilarious story that young readers will love. Publishers Weekly said of Alien in My Pocket: Blast Off!: "With its screwball comedy and lively dialogue, the novel gives readers the opportunity to laugh as they learn."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Adventure Story for all Elementary Students
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 April 2018
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    My son absolutely loves the "Alien in My Pocket" series, which has been a great primer to get him excited about reading. Nate does a great job capturing the interest and adventures that make any elementary school student excited to keep reading to find out what happens next. Each of the books are a 110-130 pages, so perfect for a short read and a couple chapters a night with get you through the week. I really like his main characters Zach and Oliva, as they are good friends and there to support each other, no matter how wacky of a situation they get into with the 4" tall blue alien Amp. You will want to have all 8 books, as we couldn't stop reading them. Hoping he will come out with another series, as he has a great story telling ability with a fun way of presenting STEM content and an exciting science experiment in the back of every book. Nieces and nephews will be getting these books this next year!
