STARHOPPER

A tight family of two women and two 12-year-old children live on a planet visited by an Alien investigating the possible threat and destruction to their existence. Their safety and work on the planet is saved by killing an underground monster. Life and work moves forward with the added help of the Alien in their newfound friendship, however, unbeknownst to all, there lingers an even more severe threat deep in the tunnels "ready to roar."

Entertaining, progressive sequences, colorful environment of the planet. Each character has a personality, element of humor in dialogue. Family expresses awareness of each other and the reality of growth and exploration wanted by the children. The plot combines multiple lessons to be gained from earth and space both.

There is no time frame established as to how far into the future the story plays out. There is no context for the family being on this planet and the length of time they've been there. Why they are even there? The only setting given is that "No one really travels this far out in the J-Quadrant." A bit more location description would enrich the story. I give this 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8-12.
