BOOK: Home by Kimberly Fuller

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@SATURN.PLANET.NET>]

Fuller, Kimberly._ Home_, 1997
  Manna and her friends think they see a falling star one day but it
is a space pod which lands on the beach.  Manna falls in love with
the guy who comes out.  It turns out he is originally from this
planet before it was cruelly taken over by another race and he was
sent in space in stasis for 30 years.  It also turns out that Manna
has been living with that cruel race and is really of the boy's
race.  They find the survivors in the woods who try to take back
their planet.  I really enjoyed this book.  I deals with a peaceful
race taken over by a violent one. Can Manna and her love bring the
two people together?  There are many parallels to Native  Americans.
This is a thought provoking 191 page book for junior high readers or
upper elementary.
