If Elvie Nara could do it over again, she probably would not have enrolled at the Hanover School for Expecting Teen Mothers for her her junior year of high school. Orbiting Earth in a decommissioned space cruiser loses some of its charm when there's a baby practicing karate on your bladder. Then again, she probably wouldn't have gotten involved with sweet-but-dumb Cole Archer in the first place, since he's the bozo who got her pregnant and then bailed. The only thing that could possibly make Elvie's year any worse would be if, say, the ship were attacked by ray gun-toting commandos, and the school's faculty turned out to be totally evil. Oh, and if Cole Archer were one of the commandos. Yeah, that'd be worse.
Co-written by Lisa Graff (under the pen name Isla Neal) & Martin Leicht.
praise for The Ever-Expanding Universe trilogy!
VOYA
“Juno meets Aliens, sort of, in this wacky debut novel. Sixteen-year-old Elvie Nara’s wisecracking voice is the perfect vehicle for her description of encounters with threatening aliens. An extremely clever premise that is skillfully carried off by the authors.”
Kirkus Reviews
“This science-fiction–comic romp set in a space-based school for pregnant teens hits the funny bone and adds in an alien conflict for good measure. . . . Fans of science fiction and zany comedy should both be satisfied. Pure fun.”
Booklist
“The Ever-Expanding Universe series drips with sci-fi kitsch, including ray-gun-toting aliens and 1980s John Hughes nostalgia. There’s something refreshing about these witty, cursing, sarcastic teen mothers in space, led by a sharp, knowledgeable, and vulnerable young heroine.”
