But his excitement about the trip is interrupted by some shocking news: his amazing teacher is not coming back to school, and no one will say why. <p/>When Omar and his friends start investigating, the hints they overhear and clues they find lead them to an alarming conclusion--it must be aliens! <p/>Omar has a huge imagination, but saving his teacher from aliens seems far-fetched even to him. He's going to need out-of-this-world creative thinking and a huge spirit of adventure to solve this mystery!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Mian's narrative of British Pakistani Muslim Omar and his family, friends, and neighbors continues to be <b>delightfully charming with laugh-out-loud humor</b>.
