An interactive sci-fi adventure where YOU decide the outcome! Perfect for readers aged 8-12 who love aliens, action, and hands-on problem solving.

When an alien spaceship crash-lands in your backyard, your summer vacation takes an unexpected turn. Meet Zorp-a friendly (but slightly clumsy) visitor from another planet who needs your help to fix his ship and get home. But rebuilding alien tech isn't easy... especially when nosy neighbors, mysterious government agents, and wild raccoons are getting in the way!

Will you sneak through the junkyard undetected? Fix the plasma core in time? Or end up captured by the Men in Beige?

Every choice you make leads to a different outcome-some hilarious, some heroic, and some... disastrous.

Why This Book Is STEM-Appropriate:

Alien BBQ integrates key STEM principles into an engaging narrative, encouraging young readers to think critically and solve complex problems. As players help the alien Zorp repair his damaged spacecraft, they explore basic engineering concepts like circuitry, material science, and mechanical function. The interactive choices and dice-based mechanics reinforce logical thinking, probability, and strategic decision-making. By blending storytelling with scientific inquiry and hands-on problem-solving, the book fosters curiosity and builds foundational skills in science, technology, engineering, and math-all while keeping readers entertained with humor, suspense, and adventure.
