“Foster has a knack for creating amusing and occasionally chilling alternate realities.” —Locus
The Sonderberg family does not know it yet, but this is not going to be any ordinary road trip. After they pick up an unassuming hitchhiker, a quiet drive down Interstate 40 becomes a trip into an alternate reality. It turns out the family has just given a ride to an alien who has the fate of the universe resting on her shoulders. Now the Sonderberg family must fight evil alongside their new alien friend, in a desperate attempt to save the world they love.
“Humor, adventurous sections, sly satire, and high fantasy are brought together surprisingly well.” —Science Fiction Chronicle
