Fire, A Girl, and Far Too Many Aliens

Kira hasn't even made it through sixth grade, so dealing with aliens is a bit much.

Kiranesha Älykäs has always been seen as a precocious young girl, able to handle whatever life throws at her. That ability is tested when aliens attack her school and take the adults hostage. Kiranesha and her classmates must fight for their lives against a powerful enemy while also uncovering magical secrets that have been buried for decades.

In Fire, A Girl, and Far Too Many Aliens by Ava Woodhams, Kira has to face the fact that she might not have all the answers, and that sometimes kids aren't allowed to stay kids for very long.
