Life hacks for a little alien : a novel
by Alice Franklin

A lonely girl in southeast England feels like an alien but hears about an ancient, indecipherable manuscript, giving her hope that others are like her. Convinced the Voynich Manuscript holds the answers she needs, Little Alien and her best (and only) friend Bobby decide they must find this strange book. Where that decision leads them will change everything. In this coming-of-age adventure and a love letter to language, Alice Franklin will have you swinging from stitches to tears on the uneven path to finding a life that fits, even when you yourself do not.
