While trying to save Klesia, Izzian learns that an alien doesn't necessarily have to be human to have humanity.One reviewer wrote:A tale of supernova excitement! From the far away planet of Klesia, via a ride on a comet transport to Earth, Izzian Klowosky hurls himself into the many levels of drama and intrigue in this first book of a series. This is a story of alien middle schoolers being trained in other worlds, taking on the shapes and characters of their assigned environment, and dealing with intergalactic personalities and catastrophes. With an increasingly complex plot, the well-developed characters keep you smiling as they push on to solve their own personal problems and the minor problem of an entire disappearing planet. The feisty and rather strange characters grab your attention early on. Each new challenge keeps the reader eagerly turning the pages. The layered plots reach a crescendo and the book comes to a close with almost all the stray ends being tidily tucked away. However, there are plenty of tendrils leading toward the next book in the series!
