Eight Days on Planet Earth

(2) YA Matty meets a "crazy, crazy girl" in the rural-Pennsylvania field where a spaceship purportedly landed in 1965. Priya is from a planet near Gliese 581c, she tells him, and she's waiting to go home. Matty's first-person narrative rings true, and though Priya's real story will likely leave readers in tears, they will be glad to have shared "eight days on planet Earth" with Matty and Priya.
