Aliens on Vacation | Clete Barrett Smith

This is the first in a series and is currently on my TBR.

David, otherwise known as Scrub (don't ask), isn't happy about leaving Florida and his friends to summer with his grandmother in "Middle of Nowhere," Washington. When he arrives at her Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast, he isn't surprised by its 60s meets Star Wars decor, but he is surprised by the weird-looking guests.

JoScho It turns out that each room in the inn is a portal, and his grandma is the gate-keeper, allowing aliens to vacation on Earth. Grandma desperately needs Scrub's help with welcoming (and disguising) the tourists, shopping for cartloads of aluminum foil for dinner, and taking rambunctious alien kids camping in the nearby woods. 5y

JoScho The problem is, the town sheriff--already suspicious about Granny--is a scout leader camping in the same spot. Will Scrub blow Granny's cover, forcing the B&B to shut down forever? Full of cosmic chaos and mind-bending mayhem, Scrub's summer adventure will leave readers wanting to make a return trip. This is not my review but the Goodreads summary 😊 (edited) 5y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk This sounds fun! Reminds me of the Lawrence Watt-Evans short story “Why I Left Harry‘s All-Night Hamburgers” which is about a kid who gets a job at a diner that regularly has customers from parallel universes. (edited) 5y

OriginalCyn620 Sounds cute! 5y

JoScho @TobeyTheScavengerMonk oh I haven‘t heard of that. I will check it out 🖤 5y
