Just when they think everything will go as it always has on Ondine, Emperor Calder decides to send his aliens on a far-away mission to save their world. When Emperor Calder, the leader of the planet Ondine, notices that his planet is getting overpopulated and out of control, he decides that he will be the first leader to do something about it. He chooses several of his favorite aliens to send to Earth, the first potential colony, on a research mission. The naive aliens discover Earth is nothing like their home planet and fall into many traps. Black mail, promiscuity and murder are just to name a few. Their mission, however, is not a complete disaster, for one alien in particular. Talise had gone to Earth with a level head and ends up meeting her soul mate of another world. Of course, she is then faced with making the difficult decision of whether to stay with Cooper on Earth or to go back to her home planet. Fun and captivating, the book weaves good with evil, innocence with skepticism, and teaches them to follow their hearts and remain true to themselves."
