Praise
A 2023 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Juvenile Novel!
“A chapter book and graphic novel hybrid, it’s bursting with fantastical extraterrestrial life-forms.”—The New York Times
“Epically fun! Overflowing with aliens, adventure, mystery, and adorable animal sidekicks!”—Max Brallier, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth
“The Area 51 Files has everything you could possibly want from a middle grade novel: inventive characters, witty banter, hilarious jokes, charming illustrations, amusing extraterrestrials, action, adventure, mystery—and a snarky hedgehog. It’s funny, gripping, touching and all-around wonderful.”—Stuart Gibbs, New York Times bestselling author of the Spy School series
“Filled with equal parts mystery and belly-laughs, The Area 51 Files delivers an alien invasion of out-of-this-world fun.”—Gordon Korman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Restart
“Kids are going to love this unputdownable, extra-fun, extra-hilarious, extra-mysterious, extraterrestrial adventure.”—Sarah Mlynowski, New York Times bestselling author of the Whatever After series and the Upside-Down Magic series
“Buxbaum’s middle-grade debut is a rip-roaring series opener complete with over-the-top characters and jokes galore. Naidu’s black-and-white cartoon illustrations extend the comedy with ongoing commentary that smartly interacts with the prose… Contagiously goofy and fun.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Good-natured humor lands alongside imaginatively rendered extraterrestrials (including a living cubist representation), while quick pacing keeps things light. B&w illustrations by Naidu both illuminate and expand upon this tongue-in-cheek mystery adventure.”—Publishers Weekly
