Two kids are playing in the woods when an alien spacecraft suddenly makes a crash landing. But not to worry, one of the kids has satellite TV at home and knows all about Klingons and Predators.
This is a fun, touching story. A lot of the comedy comes from the matter-of-fact way in which all the characters refer to science fiction series (mostly Star Trek) and movies for real-world knowledge about the alien. But there’s also a lot of heart beneath the humour. Unfortunately part of the charm was spoiled for me by all the Scottish dialect in the dialogues. But that’s a matter of personal preference.
