Who said friends have to match to matter?

When the Star Boy's space-pod crashes in the grounds of Fairfield Academy, he knows he must seek shelter. Taking refuge in the school's boiler room to await rescue, he discovers that the room's small window is the perfect place to watch humans go by.

The Star Boy knows about humans from his Earth lessons, but no one from his planet has ever studied them up close. Now he has the perfect opportunity. There are two humans, in particular, that catch his attention – a boy called Wes and a girl named Kiki. But as his curiosity grows, so does his courage, and, making a momentous decision, the Star Boy follows Wes and Kiki into class … and into their lives.

How To Be A Human is a warm and otherworldly story about finding friendship in the most unlikely of places, for fans of Tamsin Winter, Cath Howe, and Ross Welford.
