Out There
(Juvenile Graphic Novels)

Julia didn't always believe in aliens. It was her father who convinced her otherwise. You see, Julia's dad believes he was once abducted by aliens. And ever since then, he's been obsessed with the extraterrestrial beings living out there. So when a festival commemorating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the UFO crash in New Mexico rolls around, Julia turns down a dream vacation in Hawaii with her best friend Sara to join her dad for a weekend trip to Roswell, where he expects the aliens to make contact. At first, Julia is thrilled to experience the festival firsthand with her dad, but the more time they spend in Roswell--and the more alien-abduction stories she hears and dubious alien artifacts she sees--the more she wonders whether what her dad experienced was real after all. Will this weekend bring the two closer together or only drive them apart? This is a heartfelt story of family, loyalty, and how far we'll go to support the ones we love.
