They're cute, they're smart, and they're out of this world!After a tough year, life's finally looking sweet for space cadet Cherry Trubill, seventeen. Just days away from graduation, she and besties Dee-Dee and Allegra "borrow" a prototype spacecraft for a joy flight. But the fun is short-lived when the ship malfunctions and catapults them from planet Blixod into another galaxy. Straight to Earth.
Specifically, rural Montana. Although figuring out a way home is priority number one, the trio seizes the chance to study Earthlings. Cherry soon discovers a few things: they're goofy, fragile, and besotted with pumpkin spice. In stark contrast, Blixodians are superhumans-unbreakable and able to leap tall buildings pretty much. Blending in to avoid the authorities and suspicious mean girls isn't easy.
And joining a cheerleading squad was so not on Cherry's radar. Neither was one intriguing blip-Nick Wilder, a boy who might just be the antidote to her homesickness.
