After spending several years investigating exotic places, plants, and animals, Charles returned to England to compile his notes about what he experienced and observed.

How has it changed in the year since the aliens left? You may use your own personal experiences from the alien invasion to make your points.” Gratuity “Tip” Tucci isn’t sure where to begin her essay about Smekday. Should she start with her mother’s alien abduction? Or maybe with the Boov taking over Earth—er, Smekland. Well, as long as she gets in all the details about driving her hover-car cross-country and her cat saving the human race, it probably doesn’t matter how she begins.

Before long, however, things change. Lizzie’s father and twin brother join the Union army, meaning she must manage the family’s shop and give up her dream of attending school. Lizzie and Rosanna argue about abolition; then Rosanna runs away to Richmond, marries, and follows her husband onto the battlefield.
