Reach for this book when your child starts questioning the news, obsessing over conspiracy theories, or asking 'is this real?' about things they see online. It serves as a perfect bridge for the transition from magical thinking to critical thinking, using the allure of UFOs to teach the value of historical research and evidence-based reasoning. While the cover highlights aliens, the narrative actually focuses on the Cold War, aviation engineering, and the U.S. military. It validates a child's sense of wonder while grounding them in the reality of secret government projects. It is an excellent choice for kids who feel a sense of justice about transparency and want to 'know the truth' about the world around them.
