EXCELLENT!!!

At first I saw the movie, and it was... well... O.K. But then I went To the School librarry, and I saw the book! I read the summery on the back and it sounded great! Boy was I ever right, It was great! No not great EXCELLENT!!!! I read the whole thing in about 4-5 days! And let me tell you, it was way better than the movie!Imean, and they ended differently to! In the book there is this boy who realy likes Arial and she hates him! but in the movie...well...the boy that likes Arial ends up being her boy friend! And then they do a big slopy kiss... and ... well you know!

I Never Read the Book, But I Saw the Movie

It's a great movie and I want my mom to get me the book.It's about a girl named Za-wes-za who had to come to earth to get away from the emperor.During the time they are on earth, the girls name is turned to Ariel and her father gets engaged.Ariel's future step-siblings assume she's an alien.Do they find out she's an alien?Read the book or watch the movie on Disney to find out!

Read if you want a book that's truly out of this world

Funny, interesting, and imaginative! For anyone who thinks THEIR stepfamily is wierd, read about this one! For example: Does YOUR stepsister morph into water, stretch herself like Gumby, live on helium, and read minds? Does YOUR stepfather watch "Sesame Street" on a regular basis? And were either of them previously balls of pink gas? Strange as this story may seem, you can relate to Sweezle (AKA Ariel Cola, the stepsister in question), especially if you've moved, or had a long-distance relationship that failed (though it probably wasn't AS long-distance). You can also relate to Megan, the main character, who wishes her parents weren't divorced and doesn't want her mother to marry into this, um, strange family. It was made into a movie by Disney Channel, which was COMPLETELY different and not half as good. My advice: read the real thing. You won't be dissappointed!

A GREAT Book!

This book is an excellent story about a girl whose sister is an alien. It's great reading! I could hardly put it down because of all the exciting parts.

A NEVER BORING BOOK.

I read this book. And it was one of the greatest books that I have ever read. The book tells how there life is being destoryed by ther parents. It is worth buying.
