Aliens Don't Wear Braces

I would give this book a 10 star rating if I could. The reason is because it has a lot of stuff about aliens. IT is also very exciting and funny.

This book showed me lots of mysteries, funny stuffs and jokes. Could the subtitute art teacher really be an alien?

Aliens Don't Wear Braces by Debbie DadeyHave you ever heard of an alien that wears braces? This book is about four kids named Howie, Eddie, Melody, and Liza. These kids had a substitute in art and they had a feeling she was an alien. Help them solve if the art teacher is an alien or not.The reason I like this book was it is a mystery. Is the art teacher an alien? Another reason I liked this book was that they did some spying and they might get caught spying.The author wrote this book to show how curious these kids are. A lesson the author wrote in this book was to have confidence in yourself.

Strange occurrences are common at Bailey School. Santa Claus has (maybe...) come in to clean floors. The 3rd grade teacher is a vampire. Ghosts eat potato chips and NOW, it seems an alien has come to take over the art class!Mrs. Zork is the new art teacher, and she is by far one of the strangest Bailey School characters yet. When she first comes to class, her hair is dead white, as is her skin-she looks like chalk. And what's with this business of her wearing braces?? And why did the power go out in the school right before she arrived? Come to think of it, what was that strange sound and light in the sky right before she came to school...?? My gosh, is she an alien from outer space?!"Aliens Don't..." is the 7th book in the Bailey School Kids series, and marks a return to strange and creepy characters. Some other books, like "Santa Claus Doesn't Mop Floors", were more funny and enjoyable than weird and creepy. Something about Mrs. Zork, with her pale skin, white hair and odd ways (she doesn't even know what painting is!) is just plain strange. What's far MORE strange is how things seem to be loosing their colors when she's around... Pictures near the art room seem to be fading, flowers are dull-looking when she's around them, and what's more, isn't Mrs. Zork's pale skin starting to show some color??The Bailey School Kids series is a fast paced, often funny set of books that will appeal to a lot of young readers who are looking to branch out into short, illustrated chapter books. The subject matter-- strange and supernatural creatures with an oddly human twist (like wearing braces)-- is likely to appeal to most young readers. There's plenty of evidence pointing to Mrs. Zork being an alien from outer space. However, like the other books in the series, there is also room for doubt, usually expressed through the opinions of the unbelieving class clown, Eddie. The fact that only about 4 or 5 of the 3rd graders at Bailey ever even NOTICE these weird goings-on and that they share a secret is one of the appeals to this series."Aliens Don't..." is a more engaging read than some of the other books in this series, perhaps because Mrs. Zork is just so strange and creepy (really, wouldn't a woman with dead-white hair and skin and shiny, glowing braces creep YOU out??). Yes, the illustrations are a bit cartoon-like and may detract from the story for some readers, but it's also a fun, swift read for beginning and intermediate readers. It comes recommended.

This book was totally cool. I loved it. It has a great plot, and mystery. Take my advice, and read it!
