DERP MEETS EARTH is an otherworldly adventure by Elle Scott, for ages 6 to 10 that engages the reader as the characters face encounters, and obstacles while forging unique and lasting friendships. Derp Meets Earth is a look at the lives of three alien children and their pet who crash land a hijacked space pod on earth and learn to survive in a whole new world of dangerous characters and exciting happenings.
The story is filled with lovable, likable core characters that, even though they are not of this world, are flawed just as humans are. They are typical kids; they make mistakes and then must live with those decisions and do their best to overcome the challenges that result. They must confront prejudice for their uniqueness, yet they find that true friendship does not care if you are covered with long fur or come from another planet, it is who you are that really matters. On the planet Murgon, Derp, Squeep and Ziba are just regular kids. They go to school, hang out together walking on the ceiling of Derp’s house, and since there isn’t any gravity on Murgon, it’s a pretty normal kid activity. They’re just kids, you know.
