Do space aliens exist? This is the question at the heart of Aliens: Join the Scientists Searching Space for Extraterrestrial Life, by Joalda Morancy. This nonfiction book packs a wealth of information about the complexities of space and the possibility of life beyond Earth.

Aliens takes readers on a tour of the latest scientific research, using colorful illustrations, infographics, and informational sidebars. You’ll wow your friends and family with the otherworldly tidbits you discover.

Morancy, a special contributor to Reach: A Space Podcast for Kids, had fun writing the book. “The best part was relearning all of the science that goes into looking for extraterrestrial life,” Morancy told TFK. “And there are so many cool aspects [of the subject] that go beyond STEM.”
