Aliens are Coming! This is a very funny and young nonfiction picture book about Orson Welles's 1938 radio broadcast of the War of the Worlds, which duped much of the country into believing that martians were invading the US (first landing in New Jersey, of course!). Meghan's aliens are not too scary (reminiscent of the aliens on Sesame Street) as they take over the US with their spaceships. She has included factual information about the history and importance of radios in the 1930s and why people actually believed aliens were invading (imagine if Wolf Blitzer pulled a similar stunt today!). Meghan has also included an author's note with facts about Orson Welles, and H.G. Wells (author of the novel on which the broadcast was based). Paperback 08/11/2009
