The Rock. Such a common name for such a terrible place. Life is cheap on The Rock, it is hard. It's the perfect place to dump the half-breeds, children born of human and alien parents. Children that few wanted to acknowledge, reminders of the near extermination of all human life on Earth. After three years, one girl fights the system. She's going to get off The Rock - or die trying.

Humans went out of their way to massacre their fellow man over differences in the color of skin, religion, and politics. We were supposed to be the generation that saved the planet and humanity for ourselves and our children. Unfortunately, we were never given the chance.Envious eyes looked upon Earth from our nearest neighbor, Alpha Centauri. Eyes that had decided we weren’t killing ourselves off fast enough. Eyes that had taken matters into their own hands on the day they tried to kill humanity. They miscalculated . . . Fifteen-year-old Tanya's life was turned upside down on "The Day". Now, she's found a reason to fight but will she win?

What's a ghost to do? This is the first is a series of Georgie stories written over the years by Mr. Bright.

When Georgie heard that Mr. and Mrs. Whittaker were going to the city and taking with them Herman the cat he decided that he and Miss Oliver the owl should also go.
