New Policy: If you register for the children's book club and don't attend (without canceling your registration by the start of the program) twice in a row, you will not be able to register for the children's book club for two months.
Our January book Out There by Seaerra Miller
It was her father who convinced her otherwise. You see—Julia’s dad believes he was abducted by aliens. And ever since then, he’s been obsessed with the extraterrestrial beings living out there.
So when a festival commemorating the 75th anniversary of the infamous UFO crash in New Mexico rolls around, Julia turns down a dream vacation to Hawaii with her best friend, Sara, to join her dad for a weekend trip to Roswell, where he expects the aliens to make contact.
But amid the alien-themed goofiness of the festival, Julia finds she isn’t sure whether her father really did get abducted. His memories of alien interference are starting to sound increasingly shaky, and with them, her faith in him. Will this weekend bring the two closer together or only drive them apart?
A heartfelt story of family, loyalty, and the lengths we go to support those we love.
A humorous and compassionate portrayal of the complicated and sometimes painful nature of parental relationship."―School Library Journal
The story ultimately doesn’t settle on easy answers when asking what it means to care about someone who believes something that you’re beginning to doubt...A poignant trip."―Kirkus Reviews
