I randomly chose this book from a list of "transitional fiction for kids" at the library. I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but the book ended up being really enjoyable. If kids are ready for some more challenging and informative reading material, and they like suspense, mystery, and science fiction genres, then Wanna Buy an Alien? is a great book to use in the 2-4th grade classroom. It's a newer publication also (2000) so the book contains a lot of references to technology and computers, good for the technologically-savvy student. The text includes all kinds of dialogue, important "clues" and "letters," and other new formatting which translates into = beneficial read-a-loud in the classroom.
