Freddy doesn't feel like he belongs. Not at school. Not in his neighborhood. Not even on Earth! When Freddy and his family move from Uruguay to New York City, he feels even more out of place. He doesn't speak the language. He doesn't understand the culture. More than anything, he feels like an alien-strange and lost in space. A caring teacher sees Freddy for who he truly is. With one small act of encouragement, she helps him discover something extraordinary. Being different isn't something to hide; it's something to celebrate! Freddy the Alien is a heartwarming story about embracing who you are and finding your place in the world.
