Each in his or her own way, three young people--ten-year-old Molly; Oluu, an argumentitive and arrogant shape-shifting alien; and Molly's classmate Jack--struggle with feeling different and alone, finding their place in the world (or in the universe), and remaining true to themselves. Conly keeps her emotionally involving story grounded in its rural northern Vermont setting and in its protagonists' perspectives.
