Charlie Baker is the new kid at school, and he's an alien. Can he keep his big secret? 

It's tough being the new kid. He has to make friends, learn geometry, and try not to embarrass himself in gym class. Oh, and he's also not supposed to tell anyone that he's an alien. Too bad he broke that rule the very first day. Now he has to convince his new friend May to help him fit in, keep his parents from discovering that he shared their secret, and deal with Caden, the school bully. Oh pug! This is going to be tough. 

Alien Kid is the new middle grade series (ages 9-12) from author Kristen Otte, who writes funny books that parents can trust.
