Acting like an Earthling isn’t easy! Follow the adventures of Spork the alien in the How to Be an Earthling series. Each book covers a different character trait to help kids think about what they say and do.

Grace can’t believe her luck. A real live author is coming to her school! Lucy Harper’s books are good, but in them, aliens are the bad guys. And Grace knows that’s not true—just look at Spork! Is there any way in this cosmos for a kind of shy kid to convince a grown-up, big-time author to see the other side? Every How to Be an Earthling title includes fun back-of-book activities that build on story themes. (Character trait: Acceptance)
