Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the messy realities of independence or feels overwhelmed by new responsibilities. While it is wrapped in a high-energy sci-fi package, the heart of the story focuses on two kids left in charge of a business, forcing them to balance rules with empathy. It is perfect for children who enjoy fast-paced humor but need to see that even 'saving the universe' involves the mundane work of problem-solving and teamwork. The story follows David and Amy as they manage an intergalactic hotel while David's grandmother is away. Between eccentric alien guests and nosy human neighbors, the duo must decide when to follow protocol and when to trust their instincts. It is a fantastic choice for 8 to 12 year olds who appreciate kooky characters and stories where children are treated as competent, even if they make mistakes along the way.
