Becoming Human
by Amy Michelle
Carpenter
Genre: YA Science
Fiction
A
redneck boy. An Earth-obsessed alien. And a robotic girl... Three
wildly different teenagers must work together, and accept one
another, to conserve humanity.
A
breathtaking debut with Southern charm, whimsical worlds, and
meet-cuteness, for fans of Marie Lu and Lois Lowry.
Carter
doesn't believe in aliens. And he certainly doesn't defend his dad's
claims that they exist, even if they aired on national television.
But then, the girl he's falling for starts doing strange things,
magical things, things that seem a bit out of this world.
Kokab
hungers to be a Perfect in a world where her emotions are her
greatest flaw. But when her planet faces extinction, her sympathy
makes her the best ambassador to persuade humans to accept her
people. Failure means invasion, but success means she will never
become a Perfect. Ags dreams of graduating from the Academy and
becoming a guardian of Earth.
Obsessed with all things human,
she's eager to spend time on the unique planet. But when she uncovers
an impending invasion, she's willing to lose everything, including
herself, to stop it.
"Human
and alien, complex and sweetly personal, Carpenter's thoughtful world
blends sci-fi with coming of age as three unique worlds collide. This
book will make you laugh, make you fall in love, and then make you
re-evaluate what it means to be human." McKelle
