Sami's life is turned upside down when a visitor from another planet lands in his back garden. The alien is here to learn about life on Earth. Sami isn't sure he wants a curious alien tagging along at school, but the visitor is determined to fit in.

Funny and fast-paced, this story explores friendship, acceptance, and what it means to belong. This KS2 reading book is from Readerful's Independent Library. It is for children aged 8 to 9 to read without support.

Readerful is a reading library specially designed to motivate children to read more. The series offers contemporary, inclusive books for children from 4 to 11 years, including:

• Books for Sharing: picture books to be read aloud by an adult for inspiring reading sessions
• Independent Library: fiction, graphic texts, character mini-series and non-fiction for children to read independently
• Rise: fully decodable books for older struggling readers to read independently. How Readerful works:
• Read aloud the Books for Sharing for magical reading sessions that motivate children to read more.
• Then encourage children to choose a book to read by themselves, from Readerful's Independent Library or from Rise.

You'll find links between the books' topics, vocabulary, characters and authors - all designed to keep children reading, boost their vocabulary, strengthen their comprehension skills, and deepen their understanding of the world around them.
