Perijee & Me by Ross Montgomery
Perijee and Me is a hilarious and touching story about an unusual friendship, a heart-stopping adventure, and the power of kindness when you're faced with an alien invasion. If E.T. the Extra Terrestrial is still right here in your heart, then you're sure to fall hard for the misunderstood Perijee and the one girl who's desperate to save him. Caitlin is the only young person living on Middle Island. On the first day of vacation, she finds a tiny alien on the beach. Caitlin becomes close to her secret friend, whom she names Perijee, and treats him like a brother. Caitlin has a reading disability, but finds she is a good teacher, telling Perijee everything she knows about the world. There's only one problem: Perijee won't stop growing. And growing . . . Caitlin will have to convince the adults around her--and Perijee himself--that the creature they see as a terrifying monster is anything but. When things get out of hand, brave Caitlin embarks on a journey to save Perijee before it's too late.

This British import is earnest, often quietly thoughtful, and quirky. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Montgomery engages us with . . . high drama, hurtling towards a heartwarming resolution. --The Sunday Times (London)
