"I found myself thinking of Roald Dahl, Douglas Adams, and Terry Pratchett. Wise, funny, and above all human." —Neil Gaiman Terra is about to go to school for the first time. It's a very alien experience. She's been an outsider all her life. But that needn't be a bad thing. It's a perspective that lets her see just how very odd and alien humans are, as well as how human aliens can be. Terra came from Rrth but she has grown up on Fnrr. Fnrr is a very different world, the people there are very different and they speak a very strange language; yet, despite being an alien there, it has become home for Terra. But her extraordinary new home, Fnrr, is spiraling into a terrible war. Terra is a charming and hilarious satirical fable from a fantastic new voice.

Terra

A charming and satirical fable of personal angst and global apocalypse Billy Martin loved science fiction. But SF has had it. Two years ago, the girl Terra came back to earth, having spent most of her life on an actual factual alien planet., Science Fiction is kind of beside the point once it's come true. And then even Terra disappeared. Billy's only friend Lydia doesn't really understand, but then she hasn't lost everything. But now a new girl has arrived at school, and she loved the dead genre of SF every bit as much as Billy. And she seems really interested in Billy, too. Things are looking up. But Terra didn't disappear. She just hid. But the time for hiding is over. Something awful is happening back home. Really awful. . .
