Where Are the Aliens?

By Stacy McAnulty & Nicole Miles
Where Are the Aliens? by Stacy McAnulty & Nicole Miles digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A fun-filled, highly illustrated, science-based exploration into one of the universe’s greatest mysteries—does life exist beyond Earth?—from bestselling and award-winning author Stacy McAnulty.
 
Spoiler: Scientists haven’t discovered life beyond Earth, not even a single teeny-tiny organism. But there’s a whole lot of outer space, and humans have searched only a fraction of a fraction of it. So do you believe in the possibility of life out there? Or do you think Earth is perfectly unique in its ability to grow organisms?

Where Are the Aliens? takes readers on a journey of theories and discoveries, from the big bang and primordial soup, to how the ancient Greeks considered the cosmos, to the technology used today to listen and (possibly!) communicate with far-off exoplanets. Packed with playful illustrations and fascinating factoids, this is the perfect book for anyone who has ever looked up and asked, "What's out there?"

Where Are the Aliens? Reviews

3.5
“Fun middle grade non-fiction written with a conversational tone. Author Stacy McAnulty balances science, speculation, and humor very well. Back matter, including a timeline, list of abbreviations, and source notes add additional credibility. I’m a Life Beyond Earth-er: I want there to be something out there. I appreciate McAnulty’s focus on the science while reiterating the all important “yet”!”
“Thank you, Netgalley, for the ARC! Also, thank you to the writer and publisher! The artwork I loved all of it! This book is full of details, and the illustrations that go with it are wonderful. It teaches you not just about lifeforms but aliens and are they out there. It also goes onto detail about projects Nasa and other huge companies are getting into we will be seeing in the future. This book certainly makes you think: Are there aliens out there? Are the stories true? What els is out there in the vast open space. The question are we really alone rings true for this book. I just love how much this book teaches you. Plus, the ending is kinda like a wrap-up/ refresher just in case you forget what you already read, and that is something I need sometimes. Thank you once again for the ARC!”
