Kids should read this book because it teaches them to never give up on what you believe in, even if someone tells you you’re wrong. – Audrey
Hi Audrey, Ibrahim, and Ritisha! Can you tell us what this book is about?
Audrey: Gnome Is Where Your Heart Is, is about a kind hearted girl who wants more than anything to help her grandpa prove to the world that aliens DO exist. She goes through an adventure just to prove that they are real.
Ibrahim: Its main focus is about Lemon who’s trying to prove her Grandpa Walt’s stories about alien garden gnomes are true, but her parents don’t believe her. So she and her friends try to prove it’s true, Especially to her dad, who hates the stories of the alien garden gnomes.
Ritisha: This book is about a girl named Lemon and her grandfather Walt, who saw an “alien” called Gnemo, they start a project to prove to people that it’s real. Everybody doesn’t believe and they think “alien hunting” is a waster of time. One day Lemon discovers that they’re real and goes on an exciting adventure with her best friend Marlo.
What do you like about this book?
Audrey: I love how Lemon cares about her grandpa, so much that she goes to great extents to try to find his old friend, who may help him remember.
Ibrahim: What I like about the book is how there is an entire alliance of aliens both garden gnomes and other species trying to make the world a safer place and how there’s IC planets that can’t join the alliance. I think the idea and concept of the alliance is really interesting and original.
Ritisha: What I like about this book is it shows you what’s happening in 2 different characters’ lives at that time. I also love how everytime you turn the page there is something new waiting to be discovered .
What is your favourite part of the story?
Audrey: My favourite part about the book was when Lemon’s dad found out Lemon and his dad were telling the truth.
Ibrahim: My favourite part of the story is when the plot twist happens…
Ritisha: My favourite part of this tale was how many people did not believe Lemon and thought “alien hunting” was a waste of time when, in the end, she located Gnemo. The fact that it actually boosted Lemon and her dad’s relationship was my second favourite aspect of this.
Why should other kids read this book?
Audrey: Kids should read this book because it teaches them to never give up on what you believe in, even if someone tells you you’re wrong.
