Aliens on Vacation

The Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast Series, Book 1

By: Clete Barrett Smith

Narrated by: Joshua Swanson

Scrub isn’t happy about having to spend the summer with his hippie grandmother in “Middle of Nowhere,” Washington. When he arrives at her Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast, he’s not surprised by its 1960s-meets-Star Wars decor, but he is surprised by the weird-looking guests. It turns out that each room in the inn is a portal and his grandma is the gate-keeper, allowing aliens to vacation on Earth. She desperately needs Scrub’s help with disguising the tourists as humans. As if that weren’t difficult enough, the town sheriff is already suspicious of Granny. One wrong move and Scrub could blow Grandma’s cover, forcing the B&B to shut down forever. And when it comes to aliens, every move seems very wrong....

Full of cosmic chaos and mind-bending mayhem, Scrub’s summer adventure will leave readers wanting to make a return trip.

Review from 7 year old boy

I liked this book because it teaches about the galaxies beyond and what could/does happen in their galaxies. My favorite character was mr. Harnax. I liked him because he was an Alien who helped a lot.

I think this book is good for 2nd graders.

amazing I did not think I would like it but I love

I loved it so much it was a fun interesting book for everyone 💜 💛

Cute story

Good life lessons throughout the story. The book is going to offer great discussions for our book club next week.

Such Unexpected Fun!

I wanted something light to read, but was so tired of the same 'ol thing. I wasn't necessarily looking for a YA book, but we all know there are some great ones out there. I came across this book quiet by accident and liked the narrator, so I thought Id give it a chance. I started listening and listening and listening... straight thru! I found the characters come to life with the sweetest, summer adventure I could imagine. There were so many laugh-out-loud moments, surprises and believable characters. This author is now on my need to follow - I'm a new fan and encourage everyone to give it a try.

fun read

Even though I am WELL into adulthood, I enjoy "children's" books. I can enjoy the whimsy of the story without having to get bogged down in keeping track of complex story lines and multiple characters. Aliens on Vacation is just a fun read. I liked the premise of the story and its execution. I keep checking for a sequel.
