Close Encounters Of A
Third-World Kind starts out when twelve-year old Annie Ferris’s dad announces that he is
going to
He also wants the whole family (a mom, a dad, Annie,
and her younger sister, Chelsea) to go with him. Annie definitely doesn’t like
that idea. Annie is sure she is going
to hate the trip, especially since they are packing water purifiers, a first
aid kit, and a solar battery charger, (except for the fact that she’ll miss two

Annie and Chelsea go to visit the rhododendron trees with Nirmala, they get
lost on the way back. They meet two very interesting creatures, who happen not

I
think the book deserves four stars, I liked it. It keeps you on the edge of
your seat. The author was very descriptive, so you could really get an idea of
the scene. However, Close Encounters
Of A Third-World Kind didn’t have me jumping out of my seat
to see if there was a sequel because it could have been more exciting, and
there were some weird words that weren’t explained. I have to say I liked it,
though. It should have a well-deserved place on every bookshelf.
