Synopsis:

Boy-ron has reached his first century birthday and it’s time for him to attempt his first phase to a parallel dimension called Earth where he can amuse himself with humans and choose a name for himself. Unfortunately, this simple task doesn’t turn out quite as expected. Problems immediately arise when Boy-Ron realizes he has phased right smack dab into the sights of a human… who can SEE him. They’re NOT supposed to SEE him. The mishaps don’t stop there. He phases to a bigger size without refilling his phase-depleting veins, then he reads and bonds with a human who is possibly damaged beyond repair, and to put a cherry on top, he chooses a first century name guaranteed to bring shame and anger to his family. If he keeps going at this rate, it’s not likely he’s going to survive to see any more birthdays.

Pros:

The characters in this book are extremely likable. I was constantly grinning at the different behaviors and interactions between everyone. You really cheer for Caron and keep your fingers crossed that everything will work out in his favor. He’s so freshly honest and his odd mannerisms just give him a naïve adorability that you can’t help, but fall in love with. The style of speech takes a bit to get used to and can be confusing at times, but once you get used to it, it really does grow on you and adds to the characters in a good way.

Cons:

I had a hard time figuring out where the plot was going. I didn’t feel like there was any particular rise to any specific climax. There were several possibilities throughout, but when it finally seemed to settle on one particular idea, it wasn’t at all what I expected and I found myself more than a little disappointed when everything just fizzled out. I was left feeling rather incomplete and unsatisfied. I feel like there MUST be a sequel in the works for this to make any sense whatsoever.
