Bookroo's summary

Shirley and Moe, a typical couple from Bellmore, plan a simple family dinner. But when a flying saucer lands by their toolshed, their evening takes an interstellar turn. As they navigate this unexpected encounter, a mix of human and alien kindness—and a hearty meal—might just bridge worlds. Can spaghetti and meatballs unite the galaxy, or will chaos ensue? Discover how an ordinary night becomes extraordinary in this whimsical tale of cosmic connections.

From the publisher

On the day Shirley had invited all of her relatives to dinner and Moe, her husband, was pleasantly tinkering in the yard, a flying saucer quietly landed next to their toolshed. Shirley and Moe. Just a regular couple from Bellmore. Today, all they are expecting is a nice, quiet dinner with a few cousins. But what do they get? Spacemen! From outer space! They don’t know it yet, but with a touch of human (and alien) kindness and a heaping bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, the galaxy is about to get a little bit smaller.
