Book Reviews of Cascades - Grinny Hb (Cascades S.)
Book Review: An Alien Among Us
Summary: 5 Stars
This was always a big hit when I booktalked in the schools. I usually pitched it to 4th and 5th graders. It's a slim book, but chilling. The idea that your visiting Great-Aunt Emma might actually be an alien or a robot is pretty scary. The adults in the book are oblivious, so the kids have to handle the threat on their own.
It's unfortunate that the new cover is so cutesy. That may put off older readers.
The first things they noticed that seemed odd about Great Aunt Emma was there were no creases in her shoes and she was afraid of anything electrical. Then Beth knew something was quite strange when Grinny fell on the ice and broke her wrist. There was no blood, but it was metal, not bones that showed through the break. Then the skin closed back over it and she was normal again. Beth said, "she's not REAL." If she wasn't human, then what was she? Why is she here? What is she here for?
