This book is an interstellar portal, and the aliens inside want to get to know you!
Before you lift the cover, be sure you're ready to meet Zrk and Blrg. They're not so different from you but to them, you're the alien!
After their initial shock at seeing you through the portal, they're eager to see what kind of teeth you have, compare home planets, and maybe team up for a prank. You met as aliens, but by the time the portal closes, maybe you'll be friends.
