Elizabeth Fountain has written an unbelievably clever, witty, tongue-in-cheek novel with some truly marvelous characters. Louie is a complex character who searches for a sense of belonging, something that many of us can relate to. She has no memories of her life before the age of twelve. Why? The answer is finally revealed but not until a series of “absurd and nearly impossible things” happen to her. Fountain has given us characters we can believe in, even when the events are out of the ordinary to say the least. Old movies, fairy tales, children’s stories, television shows, and more all make cameo appearances in this wild romp through alien activities on Earth.

Occasionally the shifts in perspectives and time are a bit abrupt, but soon the reader is caught up in the action so completely that even the shifts seem normal and expected. The descriptions of Seattle and Prague are excellent and really make the story seem possible. I sympathized with Louie as she tries to figure out whom she can trust and where truth or sanity resides.

This is a fast-paced, humorous, and exciting look at our world from a very different point of view. I can recommend it to any lovers of science fiction.
