Insights into the lives of 27 aliens
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Author Johan Olander is a firm believer in monsters and aliens and will trust any report of sightings until proven false. When not out chasing aliens, Johan also works as a freelance writer and illustrator. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and daughter.
Monsterologist John Olander, having discovered that 45 percent of all
monster sightings reported are actually alien sightings, has decided to
follow up his Field Guide to Monsters (Marshall Cavendish, 2007/VOYA
December 2007) with a guidebook to aliens one might encounter on earth.
Full-color, double-page spreads on twenty-seven aliens include information
on what their names sound like in their native language (if they have one),
their origin, diet, distinguishing features, technology, and a narrative of
sightings of each species on Earth. Each entry also includes evidence in the
form of sketches, drawings, or photos from others who have encountered the
alien "taped" to the bottom of the (simulated) graph paper pages. Those
species that pose a threat are stamped "Danger to Humans" in red-for safety
sake. Scientific data is also included such as the real explanation of
wormholes (they are created by actual Space Worms) and Santa Claus (actually
elflike aliens who subsist on fruitcake and cookies- the beard and hat are
space gear). Although heavy on the poo humor: Silver Slurpers (among others)
live on human waste and a Droopian, who comes from a high gravity planet,
left a heavy deposit in a Wisconsin outhouse, this silly and gross "field
guide" will entertain just about any reluctant reader (especially the boys).
Fans of the first guide will also love this one. --VOYA, April 2010
