Earth to Kinzie

Written by Donna Boock

Narrated by Laci Morgan

Kinzie’s got problems like a know-it-all older sister, a wobbly-bobbly headed baby brother and very busy parents to name a few.

Kinzie’s sister, Sidney, tells her a secret. Kinzie’s from Jupiter and her space parents will return for her on her seventh birthday. That’s only three days away! Then she’ll have to return to Jupiter to live with her space parents. Goodbye bobble-head baby brother and smarty-pants sister. Problem solved, easy peasy cherry freezie!

But when Kinzie realizes it’s also goodbye mom, dad, pets and friends, and everything she knows and loves, she isn’t so excited anymore. She and her friend, Cori work together to solve the problem, but will they figure it out in time and with all pigtails in place? When problems arise, Viewtube’s favorite young inventor solves them with a sprinkle of science and a heaping dose of humor. Find out how in 3 … 2 … 1… Blast off!

What do you get if you add a beaker full of STEAM + a sprinkle of mischief + a heaping dose of humor? Kinzie's Kinventions of course!

Recommended for ages 6-9, this chapter book series will appeal to readers of Junie B. Jones.
