Description
New York Times Bestselling author of 28 novels
THE ALIENS ARE COMING FOR US ALL!
Jimmy Turkelson, a relatively insignificant and always scared seventh grader, spends his days at Tower Middle School evading bullies and trying to avoid notice; a mouse hiding in the shadows when everyone feels like a cat. But when the Zanthoid spaceship lands outside his school, everything changes.
It is the first wave of the attack. The aliens are invading so they can take every drop of water from Earth. Those who survive the unwinnable war will be left to perish on a barren wasteland after the Zanthoids finish stripping the planet of its resources. Only Jimmy, a collection of unusual friends, and a friendly alien named Gorgalsheef stand between the Zanthoid Empire and the destruction of Humanity.
But when Jimmy comes face-to-face with the vicious alien commander, Kralwak, will he coward and run away, as Jimmy usually does, or will he stand and fight to save the world?

I Hate It When Aliens Do That is a thrilling middle-grade novel that follows Jimmy Turkelson, a shy seventh grader, as he unexpectedly becomes Earth's last hope against an alien invasion. The story combines the familiar struggles of middle school—bullies and feeling invisible—with an extraordinary alien threat, making for an exciting and engaging read. What I really enjoyed about this book was Jimmy's transformation from a timid kid to a courageous hero, showing that anyone can step up when it matters most. It's an inspiring tale for young readers, filled with action and heart, and a reminder that sometimes, the underdog can save the world.

Aliens, school bullies, and saving the world? Sign me up! 🌎👽 I Hate It When Aliens Do That is the kind of book that makes you cheer, laugh, and bite your nails all at once! Jimmy isn’t your usual hero; he’s more the hide-in-the-locker type, but man, does he get a wild ride! From dodging water-stealing aliens to teaming up with the coolest extraterrestrial sidekick, this book is a blast. If you’re like me and dig stories where the little guy gets to shine, you gotta read this. Jimmy and his crew are total squad goals. Plus, who doesn’t love a good alien invasion? 🚀✨
