Summary

Fleeing a destroyed Earth, seventeen-year-old orphan Hope grew up living in the confines of a spaceship heading to CR-3, a new home planet. She's been kicking the steel walls for too long and ever since she broke her boyfriend's heart, touchdown could mean open air and a fresh start. But no one expected the Locals. 
 
Hope's dreams of freedom turn into nightmares when the Locals trap the humans and mark groups for observation. At any moment she can be called into a holographic observation room for testing. Some days she's drowning in a strange dark ocean, some days she's locked up without food, and all with the one boy she can't seem to forget. 
 
As the Locals study Hope, she studies them. She wants to believe the tall grey creatures could be peaceful, but as the simulations become more dangerous, Hope is about to become the human race's last chance for survival.

    “A cute story that teaches the colors of the rainbow” from the author of Mermaids on Mars and Circus in the Sky (The Naptime Reviewer).  Roy G. Biv Is Mad at Me Because I Love Pink! is an educational and playful story about learning of the colors of the rainbow. Roy G. Biv is an acronym for the sequence of the hues in the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.   “Singer-songwriter and children’s book author Nancy Guettier finds inspiration in each of her kids to write entertaining children’s stories. Guettier’s style is whimsical and fun, making learning effortless . . . Roy G. Biv Is Mad at Me Because I Love Pink! is centered around Genevieve who loves splashing in puddles after a rain shower. Mostly, Genevieve loves pink; however, pink is not a color in the rainbow. Understandably that upsets Roy G. Biv, who convinces her to experience all the colors of the rainbow.” —MySocialGoodNews.com   “Your children will dive in to Genevieve’s adventure with Roy G. Biv, as he tries to show her that pink is a fine color but she should try other ones as well. Your toddler will learn so much about colors and will be able to associate them with colorful objects they may encounter in their everyday routine.” —TheBabySpot.ca
