STEPSISTER FROM THE PLANET WEIRD

Throw together two sixth-grade girls who share nothing in common but their lovesick parents and tell them they're destined to be stepsisters. An invitation to disaster? Perhaps. But add one additional factor--one of the stepsisters, the quiet, violet-eyed, blond-haired beauty, is an ALIEN! Disaster now? You bet! Renowned narrator Christina Moore joins actress Julie Dretzin for this completely engaging and hilarious dual-viewpoint novel. With charm and wistfulness Moore delivers her reading of the diary written by the pink gaseous Zircalonian, Ariel Cola, entrapped in her human state. In contrast, Dretzin reads California surfer girl Megan Larsen with appropriate beach dialect and disdain. The alternating chapters add to the fast-paced humor of this delightful recording.
