Imagine being forced to move to a new planet where YOU are the alien!
From the creator of the Tapper Twins, New York Times bestselling
author Geoff Rodkey delivers a topical, sci-fi middle-grade novel that
proves friendship and laughter can transcend even a galaxy of
differences.
The first time I heard about Planet Choom, we'd been on Mars for almost
a year. But life on the Mars station was grim, and since Earth was no
longer an option (we may have blown it up), it was time to find a new
home.
That's how we ended up on Choom with the Zhuri. They're very smart. They
also look like giant mosquitos. But that's not why it's so hard to live
here. There's a lot that the Zhuri don't like: singing (just ask my
sister, Ila), comedy (one joke got me sent to the principal's office),
or any kind of emotion. The biggest problem, though? The Zhuri don't
like us. And if humankind is going to survive, it's up to my family to
change their minds. No pressure.
