Luckily for the unfortunate alien, he is befriended by Roxy, a local schoolgirl. But with Skizz (as she calls him) still desperately trying to adjust to Earth, and only Roxy to protect him from dangers ranging from Earth food to crazed government alien-hunters, will either of them survive, let alone cope with the strangest days of their lives?]
