Sterling Children's Books says; "One day, you'll be looking out your window when something wonderful comes your way . . . and you will want to keep him.
When a little boy meets a stranded alien child, the two instantly strike up a fabulous friendship. They go to school, explore the neighborhood, and have lots of fun. But at bedtime, the alien suddenly grows very, very sad. Can the boy figure out what his new buddy needs most of all? This funny, heartwarming story proves friends and family are the most important things in the universe . . . no matter who or where you are."

I found this story to be cute and a lot of fun - I love the ending. I do, however; wish the author would have told the story with her own, "flavor" as it has the definite "taste" of, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Your Alien is a book your grandchildren are sure to enjoy!
I'm very happy to say, not only did Sterling Children's Books send me a copy of Your Alien for review, but they are making another available for me to give away (USA only). If you are over the age of 18 and would like to enter this drawing - which will be on August 5, 2015, please comment below to tell me something fun your grandchild/child might like to do with an alien friend . . . I think my grandsons would love to play in the yard, have water-balloon fights and play with their squirt guns!
