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 DeeDee 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.
