The Answer

The mix of sci-fi and fantasy felt fresh and exciting. I'm curious whether the author was influenced by specific stories or just loved both genres equally.

I loved the thrill of the alien encounters but also appreciated the moments that made me think about identity and hope. Were these themes intentional or just came naturally?

The aliens felt both intriguing and relatable at times. I wonder if this was a conscious choice to make them more accessible to middle-grade readers or if it evolved during writing.
