Gr 1–3—The silly sci-fi series with reluctant reader appeal is back for a fourth installment. This time, Zack is stuck at home with a broken arm and an annoying little brother. As in the previous books, instructions for a hands-on science experiment are included.
The latest installments in this silly series packs comic punches as Amp, the small blue alien, continues to wreak havoc on human Zack's life. While packaged for maximum reluctant-reader appeal, the book will engage new readers with entertaining plots, believable characters, humorous black-and-white line illustrations, and palatable science; each volume includes a related science experiment, appropriately detailed for elementary students. Review covers these Alien in My Pocket titles: On Impact! and Radio Active.
