Branches books help readers grow!<\/p>\n<p>Real-life crime reporter Hilde Lysiak is starring in her very own early chapter book series &#8212; inspired by real news stories she has written! In this fourth book, a UFO has been spotted in town! Everyone is convinced aliens are invading, but Hilde isn&#8217;t so sure&#8230; Hilde and her sister\/photographer, Izzy, interview witnesses and follow the facts. And they soon discover what looks like the wreckage of a spaceship! Hilde has cracked all sorts of cases, but how will she solve this one? It is truly out of this world! Joanne Lew-Vriethoff&#8217;s personality-filled illustrations appear on every page, bringing Hilde&#8217;s adventures to life for young readers! <\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong> Hilde and her sister Izzy are hot on the trail of what they believe to be a UFO. The girls saw a flashing light in the sky and then interviewed a few individuals that claimed it just had to be a UFO. This then started a bunch of rumors that aliens were going to try an invade Earth. <\/p>\n<p>Stories like this are fun and interested to read. I really enjoy listening to the things that the human mind can imagine. I think that&#8217;s the main reason that I enjoy reading so much. It is rather entertaining as well as interesting to read what people can imagine in their own words. <\/p>\n<p>The two girls do many interviews and they find some clues that lead them to consider the possibility of an alien life force. However, Hilde isn&#8217;t convinced and keeps searching out the facts so that she can give her readers the truth. I have fallen in love with this girls dedication and determination. <\/p>\n<p>It takes some time, but the two girls eventually find a source that is more then helpful. They are able to finish their story and they are able to post it online. However, the only downside was that they&#8217;d missed their posting deadline. Hilde wanted the facts and didn&#8217;t want to post anything that she wasn&#8217;t able to back up, despite her sister Izzy trying to convince her to do otherwise. <\/p>\n<p>This is a fun book and series to read. I look forward to reading more books in the series in the near future. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 Pick a book.
