A novel by Donna Goddard and her granddaughter, Aisha Bailey, written for 7 to 12-year-olds. Together, they draw on imagination, family stories, and the beauty of life — both the mundane and the extraordinary — to create tales for children.
Foxie is no ordinary child. She comes from Cha Chu Pani, a peaceful world where children grow in glowing bubbles, creatures live in harmony, and everyone communicates through thoughts. As a hybrid Contact Child, her first solo mission is a big one — Earth.
After a secret night landing in Tanglewood, Foxie is taken in by Aunty Em and Uncle Harry, who believe she’s simply a lost girl with no memory. But Foxie knows exactly who she is…
Earth brings many surprises: new foods, strange customs, powerful emotions, and a maddening foster girl named Maddie.
A magical, uplifting adventure about understanding, listening, courage, love, and seeing Earth through new eyes.
