In Bubble by Stewart Foster. The main character, Joe who is 11 years old. He has a life threatening disorder. Which means he isn’t aloud to go outside. Any bad germ that goes near him could end his life. Since Joe has this disorder he is stuck in the hospital. The book title is named “Bubble” because he calls his room in the hospital his own bubble. His room is fully designed to help him avoid as much germs as he can. The room is installed with air filters and anyone who enters the room must follow strict rules to ensure safety for Joe.

“Everything’s going to be fine, mate, I promise. He seems like a good guy. If there really are aliens then they wouldn’t need an airport to land and I doubt they’d be coming to see Amir.”            (p. 49-50)

The meaning to this quotation starts off by a character in the book who is talking to Joe saying that everything is going to be fine because Joe likes to live in his own reality. He lives in a superhero world of his own imagination. That character in the book said that at the start because he was trying to make sure Joe didn’t overreact because he likes to think to himself that aliens are landing and trying to abduct him.
