A family trip sparks an out-of-this-world theory

In this third chapter-book installment, Venus Washington turns a slip of the tongue about the family’s destination into a theory about her own origins. Convinced that she may be half alien, she searches for evidence—including the extra eyes she thinks her mother has—and her investigation lands her in trouble. The setup pairs a child’s literal interpretation of adult remarks with questions about family and identity, while keeping the mystery grounded in Venus’s comic imagination. The description leaves the question of her origins open, framing the book around her attempts to persuade her family that she comes from outer space.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 looking for a chapter book centered on a young protagonist.
  • Readers who enjoy comic misunderstandings and imaginative theories about family and identity.
  • Those following the Venus Washington series; this is the third book.

Book overview

Get ready for out-of-this-world laughs as Venus Washington tries to uncover the truth about her mysterious origin in the third book of this hilarious chapter book series--perfect for fans of Amelia Bedelia, Junie B. Jones, and Dory Fantasmagory.

Venus Washington is grounded. But it isn't her fault.

When Mama says they're going on a trip to visit her family, Daddy lets slip that their destination is part of Venus's name. So she figures they must be going to Venus--the planet! Which means she's half alien. Obviously.

After all, she's heard that Mama has eyes in the back of her head. Venus tries to find those extra eyes--with disastrous results. Can she convince everyone she's from outer space? Or will she be grounded forever?
