"Invasive species are kind of like aliens. These plants and animals get transported from their native homes and when they land in other places, trouble can follow. In this science-rich title, readers will learn all about invasive species and the problems they can cause for the plants and animals that are native to a habitat. Readers will learn how invasive species appear in an area and how humans play a role in spreading them and controlling them. With an emphasis on environmental conservation, this title teaches readers how to identify imposters and control them before they take over.
