Not So Different : A Funny Story According to Arëk (an Alien from Schmec)
Description
Bec Johnson lives in Lubbock, TX with her awesome hubby, Josef and the cutest dogs in the whole Universe, Friday and Charlie. When she's not losing her mind at the call center she works at, you can find her writing hilarious stories in her beautiful sunroom. Bec and Josef love to travel all over Earth and have high hopes of travelling around the Universe one day, too. Zooch is definitely on their bucket list! If you love goofy, unapologetic, funny people, you will fall in love with Bec and the crazy world inside her head. Not So Different is her debut novel.
Arëk, a centuries-old Schmecum, thinks he's transporting to Memphis, Tennessee, for BBQ and blues music. Much to his surprise, he lands in Haleiwa, Hawaii instead. That's where he meets his human BFF, Chelsey. She teaches him how to surf and he shows her how to transport from one place to another.
The Universe is turned upside down and inside out once Arek and Chelsey team up. Nothing can deter those besties when they are exploring new worlds. Well, except that one time when Chelsey was kidnapped by the Fasians. That was a dicey day!
Just after Chelsey's sixteenth birthday, she and Arëk are told the details of a tragic plane crash into the mighty Pacific just before she was born. The bodies of her sister and two brothers were never found. But she believes they are still alive, and she and Arëk are determined to bring them home.
During their quest to find her siblings the adventurous duo encounters snobby geniuses, sassy royalty, and even sneezing dinosaurs! Their bravery is tested, their stamina is weakened, and their stomachs are growling! A quick stop for a couple of smoothies with crazy straws and peanut M&M's should do the job. Operation Sibling Search, press on!
