We're Not from Here

By Geoff Rodkey

4 ratings 9 reviews 6 followers

Imagine being forced to move to a new planet where YOU are the alien! From the creator of the Tapper Twins, New York Times bestselling author Geoff Rodkey delivers a topical, sci-fi middle-grade novel that proves friendship and laughter can transcend even a galaxy of differences.

The first time I heard about Planet Choom, we'd been on Mars for almost a year. But life on the Mars station was grim, and since Earth was no longer an option (we may have blown it up), it was time to find a new home.

That's how we ended up on Choom with the Zhuri. They're very smart. They also look like giant mosquitos. But that's not why it's so hard to live here. There's a lot that the Zhuri don't like: singing (just ask my sister, Ila), comedy (one joke got me sent to the principal's office), or any kind of emotion. The biggest problem, though? The Zhuri don't like us. And if humankind is going to survive, it's up to my family to change their minds. No pressure.

We're Not From Here is about a kid whose mom is the commander of the mars moving project because earth is in ruins. but one day they got a message from an unknown planet 3 galaxies away once they decoded the message they found out that the planet was habetable they asked if they could move there because mars was not working for them they got a message back saying that they could move there. So they started working on a rocket that could take the whole human population with them. When the rocket was done they took off and the journey would take 20 years then they were put into hyper suspension. 20 years later they arrive at choom. On choom they have gotten a new government that does not want any more species because 2 years ago they ended up killing one of the species called the nug.
