Summary: My Teacher is An Alien is about a girl named Susan, a boy named Peter, and a alien named Mr.Smith. In this book Susan and Peter find out their teacher is an alien. Their proof is that he hates music, talks weird, is a bit too strong for a normal substitute, and they saw him peel of his mask and talk to aliens! EEEEK…! Yes, it’s crazy, what if your teacher was an alien? You would freak out, right? Maybe not? How do they make Mr.Smith go away?! Read the book ! The name of the book is My Teacher Is An Alien.

Recommendation: I rate this book a 5 out of 5 because it has a good sense of humor and I like reading fantasy. I recommend this book to 3rd-5th graders because it would be too hard for a 2nd grader and too easy for a 6th grader.
