Synopsis

"An exciting series opener."—Kirkus
 
From the mind of Murr from the Impractical Jokers comes a new hilarious, action-packed series about a world of bizarre creatures, wacky gadgets, and four kid interns at the most interesting place on Earth: Area 51!

It's the first day of summer vacation, and Viv Harlow just wants to relax with her friends at the beach before they all go to different high schools next year. She is definitely not interested in visiting her mom's office, even if Director Harlow works at the famous Area 51. But when an alarm sounds beneath the secret base and a whole race of aliens escape, she's about to get much more than she bargained for. Viv, Charlotte, Ray, and Elijah (who Viv is totally NOT crushing on) will have to work together, gear up with gadgets, and even protect a baby alien to save the day and defend Area 51.

The debut middle-grade series from Murr of the Impractical Jokers, Area 51 Interns is filled with enough high-tech hijinks, bizarre creatures, and laugh-out-loud humor to make even alien skeptics hooked for more!

Goodreads review by Kailee on July 18, 2022

3.5 stars This one was enjoyable but not as hard-hitting as some of the other middle-grade fantasy/sci-fi books I have read. Taking place in the span of a single day (sans one introductory chapter), most of the action seems too quick and easily resolved. I do understand it is middle-grade, but I stil......more
