Ahoy, space travelers! There's a hilarious new graphic novel just waiting for you to check out at the library! Read "Earthling!" by Mark Fearing today.
Bud is nervous about starting his new school after moving with his dad from Minnesota to New Mexico. When he gets on the bus the first day, things go from new to weird at warp speed--it's an intergalactic bus filled with space kids heading to Cosmos Academy! Luckily, friendly Gort helps Bud navigate his new school and takes him in as an exchange student. Unfortunately, everyone at Bud's new school is terrified of Earthlings, so he has to pretend to be something he isn't. As he tries to get back home, Bud discovers a few nefarious secrets and new-found skills. But are they enough to save the Earth from total annihilation? With engaging artwork, readable dialog and lots of creative gadgets and aliens, anyone from third to seventh grade will chuckle along with Bud and Gort's adventures.
