This one was a hard one for us to get into. Eleanor wanted to hear about the aliens but of course it focuses more on the military aspects. We both agree this is not the best one in the series because there were some really complex and difficult topics the book was trying to explain and I’m just not sure it works at the age level it’s intended for. Granted, Eleanor is only 6 1/2, but this is the first one of these books that she has just not been interested in at all and she wanted to read it just to get it done.

Eleanor says: This book wasn’t as great as I thought it would be. It wasn’t as interesting. And I wanted to hear about the aliens. The aliens would’ve been more interesting to hear about. I didn’t understand a lot of the book. It was kind of boring. But I do have an area 51 map. It came with the book. The map is cool. It also had pictures on it. Area 51 is in Nevada.
