Review: Charming story

I received this free to read and reviewA long short story if this makes any sense and one that is pitched firmly at the lower age groups. Told from the perspective of the alien and from that of the little girl whose family adopts the alien “Alfear”. Almost reading like a fairy story there is much that does not logically hold together like why should a family be able to suddenly adopt a boy found at a zoo. I actually liked the story from the alien’s perspective better, strangely it seemed more real. Slowly as the aliens powers became more apparent I thought it was going to have a twist and become more of a horror story but no it retained its gentle style to the end. One of the few friendly alien stories and a nice introduction to science fiction.There is more to come as Alfear has more adventures in the wide world and I can see this series creating a following however I am so far out of the target age group that I will not be one of them.
