"Funny story: Remember when the humans destroyed Earth and found a replacement planet containing four alien species who were willing to take us in? Well, after awakening from bio-suspension after 20 years, the remaining humans have found the aliens no longer want anything do with us. The solution? Lan’s family is going to live on Planet Choom for a while to show everyone that humans are A-OK. Geoff Rodkey manages to balance humor and good, old-fashioned talking space marshmallows with serious issues of immigration and fake news. This isn’t a space opera; this is a space mockumentary. (For ages 8 to 12)"
