Chloe thinks of herself as a normal teenage girl—if there's any such thing—until a formless alien being inhabits her body.

The being is named Welkin and claims to be a Universal. Welkin has entered Chloe's body as part of a school project. Chloe agrees to let this weirdo observe her life for three days as long as Welkin doesn't interfere. Welkin tries to respect the non-interference portion of the agreement. But Welkin's stream of alien commentary as Chloe deals with boys, her coach and math homework has a comic, and sometimes enlightening, impact on Chloe's life.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read!

      Welkin, a noncorporeal alien, must inhabit the body of a human teen for his bioethics class. His host, annoyed but willing, just hopes he doesn't ruin the upcoming school dance. Despite mild situational humor (mostly involving Welkin's literal interpretations of slang), the obnoxious faux teen-speak; gaping logic gaps; and clichid, colorless vision of "average" teen life will alienate most readers.
