The Adventures of Christopher & Rocket are designed to be an interactive experience between adults and child. These stories weave together adventure, moral values, and timeless wisdom, offering meaningful life lessons along the way. Even if your child is an early reader, you can use the "Parent Tips" noted throughout the chapters, and at the back of each book to engage them with discussion questions and share personal experiences to reinforce the story's message. My hope is that these moments become cherished memories for you and your child. Sincerely, RB Bowen
While Christopher and Rocket are perched on their favorite oak tree admiring the stars, a blazing fireball streaks across the night sky and crashes into the forest. Rocket spots it first - and together, they rush to investigate. To their amazement, they discover a wrecked spaceship and a frightened alien family - a father, mother, son, and little daughter. Acting fast, Christopher rescues them from the flames and hides them deep in the woods. Knowing the adults would never understand, he calls on his friends from Willow Lane - Chrissie, April, Faith, James, and Andy - to help protect the stranded visitors. But danger lurks nearby. The school bullies, Billy and Derek, have overheard the secret and are plotting to capture the smallest alien for a reward. As the kids race to keep their new friends safe, teamwork, courage, and compassion become their greatest weapons - and the key to helping the alien family find their way Back to Mars.
