A thought-provoking comedy about being an alien from prize-winning Zanib Mian. Maxx is an alien: a real one - from the planet Zerg. He' s on Earth to research these strange things called emotions that humans have (and eat as much chocolate as he can). But some of the humans seem to think Maxx' s new human friend Jibreel is an alien too, and Maxx just can' t figure it out. Why would coming from another country make you an alien? !This funny science-fiction story is a perfect way to tackle difficult topics like racism and refugees with children. It has hilarious black-and-white illustrations from TBC throughout, and is ideal for children who are developing as readers. The Bloomsbury Readers series is packed with brilliant books to get children reading independently in Key Stage 2, with book-banded stories by award-winning authors like double Carnegie Medal winner Geraldine McCaughrean and Waterstones Prize winner Patrice Lawrence, covering a wide range of genres and topics. With charming illustrations and online guided reading notes written by the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE), this series is ideal for reading both in the classroom and at home.

Zanib Mian is an accomplished children' s author whose books have featured on BBC' s Cbeebies Bedtime Stories and The Guardian for their contribution to diversity in children' s literature. Zanib studied Molecular Cell Biology at University College London and went on to teach Science in secondary schools before she made the decision to give up the career to create change within children' s publishing.

She launched Sweet Apple Publishers with a clear commitment to publishing inclusive books, many of which she has authored herself. She is the author of the Little Rebels Prize winner The Muslims and the Planet Omar series for Hachette.
