The Exchange Student by Kate Gilmore


Do you like science fiction? What if stories? This is about a future time on earth when people are working on saving endangered animals. (Hey, sounds like what's going on now, but there is a twist.)

In the 21st century, 16-year-old Daria has a special license to breed endangered animals. She is busy enough caring for her own menagerie without have to cope with "an exchange student" that her mother has arranged to host during a cultural exchange project. Fey isn't like a typical exchange student of today, instead he can color shift and is 7 ft. tall and is from another planet. Besides these differences, there is also something very weird about the way this alien looks at animals.

Fey's quirky behavior and earth's conservation efforts made for an entertaining read and there is more to this story.
