Hollins, Becky, Nicki, and Little Gus are human children of a space crew chosen to colonize the asteroid Gelo. Child alien Chorkle accidentally meets and becomes friends with the young humans, much to the chagrin of the alien people. Told from Chorkle's point of view, O'Donnell tells an often humorous tale of intergalactic politics, friendship, adventure, and growing up.
