The Unknown

The creative details about the aliens felt so vivid and unique. I'm curious whether the author based them on anything real or let their imagination run free.

There were moments that made me laugh out loud but also kept me on the edge of my seat. How did the author decide when to lean into comedy versus suspense?

Their quirks and dynamics felt very authentic for middle-grade readers. I wonder if the characters were inspired by real kids or if they evolved during writing.
