Glick

By: W. Rondeau, L.

What do you expect another worldly being to be like in appearance and character? Something scary on the hunt for prayer or looking to abduct you for experiments? GLICK is simply a cosmic librarian, with a strong faith, and desire to increase knowledge for the betterment of the Universe.

Written from the point of view of the twelve-year-old protagonist, diversity, bullying, and friendship are portrayed in this light-hearted story about a group of kids encountering an alien who, due to a transportation glitch, has landed in the small town of Ellis Grove, Indiana instead of his intended site, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts.

Set in 1990, orphaned, twelve-year-old Jeremy Bannister has enough to deal with. Add the pressure of an upcoming skateboard contest and the constant bullying by last year's winner who tries to force Jeremy to withdraw. While Jeremy and his friends try to help GLICK, he helps Jeremy understand that friendship can be forged through unlikely circumstances, even with a bully.
