Nine-year-old Morgan is fascinated with aliens. He lives in the Pacific Northwest, land of the sasquatch, and naturally is fascinated with those as well. When he meets new kid Lewis, whose parents own a motel named the Stay On Inn, the adventures begin with slingshots, underpants, annoying older sisters, and neighbors dressed up in bear suits.

Alien Encounter by Charise Mericle Harper is a hilarious, zany alien adventure story full of funny illustrations all throughout.

"It's all funny and sweet and never too clever." --The Horn Book
