They will greet you in their own way.

Then your alien will offer you a snack.

You’ll sample a few things but will politely decline anything that stares back at you.

Your alien will share his toys.

Then you will introduce him to some of yours.

Afterward, the two of you will build a fort that is truly stellar.

Your alien will show you around his neighborhood.

Some things will remind you of home.

But other things will be completely new.

Your alien will want you to meet some of his friends.

Seeing all of them will make you feel a little alienated.

In this heartwarming sequel to the critically acclaimed Your Alien, it’s the human boy’s turn to visit the extraterrestrial’s home planet—and to feel like an outsider.
