A spell-binding intergalactic tale of beauty & the geek. Two WorldsââTwo TeensââOne Wish Rhoe and Ashley would never be friends. Even if they lived on the same planet. But, theyâll become so much more. Theyâll transfer. Earthling Ashleyâs world revolves around winning daily popularity contests at Beverly Hills High School and surfing competitions with sweet scholarship prizes that will finally help her break free of her control-freak mother. Meanwhile on planet Retha, Rhoe misses his dad, loves his momâs home-cooked Glechy crag with a side of ory sauce, is desperate to heal his sick brother and wants more than anything to win The Retha New Invention Competition. But Rhoeâs invention teleports him across the universe with an unintended side effect, Ashley and Rhoe transfer. They swap lives when they make the same wish at the same time. Popular-surfer-turned-boy-geek alien Ashley must handle life on Retha as Rhoe complete with webbed feet, low-gravity, and an obsession with Yuke, all the while being hunted by Rethan spies and resenting her hairy, flat chest. Boy-geek-turned-popular-surfer Rhoe must fit in at Beverly Hills High School as Ashley, compete in The Laguna Beach Invitational without becoming shark food, dodge boysâ affections, cool his preoccupation with Tiffany and his new body, and find the healing rocks he believes will save his brotherâs life. If only it were that simple. Some wishes can't come true. Some have to.
