Avani feels like a weirdo in her new town. It doesn’t help when her parents make her join the Flower Scouts, a girls group who seem to have nothing better to do than makeovers. But everything changes when she’s abducted by a friendly alien named Mabel. When she is allowed to join a troop of Star Scouts, she prepares for adventure and new experiences. Some scouts are friendly, others skeptical and not ready to accept a new species into the troop. Avani must push hard to prove that she is a worthy scout, but at least she has her optimistic attitude and the support of her new friends. This is the first book of a brand-new series.   (Vermont DCF Award nominee, 2018-2019)
