When it turns out that Elvie's baby is not the perfect bundle of joy she was expecting, the Almiri completely freak out. Suddenly Elvie's supposed allies have shipped her—along with her father, her best friend, Ducky, and her maybe-boyfriend, bonehead Cole Archer—off to a remote "retention facility" (aka alien jail) in Antarctica. Talk about cold. But things get really complicated when a new group of hybrid aliens arrives with information that sends Elvie's world spinning. Before long, Elvie is trekking across the bottom of Earth with a band of friends and frenemies to uncover the secrets of her own origin. If only Dr. Spock had written a book about this.
Co-written by Lisa Graff (under the pen name Isla Neal) & Martin Leicht.
praise for The Ever-Expanding Universe trilogy!
VOYA
“Juno meets Aliens, sort of, in this wacky debut novel. Sixteen-year-old Elvie Nara’s wisecracking voice is the perfect vehicle for her description of encounters with threatening aliens. An extremely clever premise that is skillfully carried off by the authors.”
Kirkus Reviews
“This science-fiction–comic romp set in a space-based school for pregnant teens hits the funny bone and adds in an alien conflict for good measure. . . . Fans of science fiction and zany comedy should both be satisfied. Pure fun.”
Booklist
“The Ever-Expanding Universe series drips with sci-fi kitsch, including ray-gun-toting aliens and 1980s John Hughes nostalgia. There’s something refreshing about these witty, cursing, sarcastic teen mothers in space, led by a sharp, knowledgeable, and vulnerable young heroine.”
