This just might be the coolest book you will ever see! It's tough to "read" this book the same way twice, thrice or even ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT TIMES! With the clever mix-and-match format, Justin's newest book is out-of-this-world with more than 1,700 different aliens combinations. Whimsically hip Matott illustrator, Laurie McAdam, who collaborated with Justin on the Grandparent books and Oliver Kringle, outdoes herself in Aliens! You'll flip when you see it!

Gabriel Peters, a misfit fourth grader with an eye patch, a bad leg, and
hair that looks like he stapled a ferret to his head, is the subject of this work
of "faction." Partly true because many of the ideas and instances reflect
some of the author's own boyhood experiences. Over the summer, after a horrendous
school year of dealing with a mean bully on the playground or the one in his
own bedroom, stealing all of his older brother's underwear in a prank that
backfires, running from the infamous Mean Mrs. Rickles, searching for the "dead
dog in the lake", fishing, camping and other adventures, Gabriel Peters will
grow up just a bit. A great read aloud book for the classroom or at home. If you
don't believe it... Go Ask Mom...

Justin Matott and Mark Ludy have combined their talents again to bring the companion book to When I Was A Boy... I Dreamed. When I Was A Girl... I Dreamed was a challenge for both men, since neither have been girls, SO they brought in an expert on girls, a mother, daughter and once a girl, Margaret Baker has lent her talents as coauthor to this beautiful book. Matott interviewed hundreds of girls in his school visits and also some close to him: nieces. It is a lovely book and is now out. A lovely companion to When I Was A Boy... I Dreamed
