At sixteen Anne is grown up. . . almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.

Co může být děsivější než ti druzí? No přece my sami! Když je humor sci-fi… Být z jiné planety (a taky skoro poslední člověk ve vesmíru, na kterém závisí přežití zbytku lidstva) není žádná sranda. Anebo že by přece? Stačí jen přesvědčit obyvatele cizí planety, na které je zakázáno vyvolávat jakékoli emoce včetně smíchu, že lidé jsou naprosto mírumilovní, neškodní a užiteční tvorové a že si zaslouží dostat ještě šanci. I když si svoji vlastní planetu zničili. Přesně tohle dostanou za úkol Lani s rodinou. A nemají na to úplně moc času: týden. Proti nim stojí odhodlaní obyvatelé cizí planety, kteří jenom VYPADAJÍ jako komáři. A rozhodně se nehodlají smát. Ani zvednout koutek. To bude zábava! Vtipné a mrazivě trefné podobenství o nejpalčivějších problémech současnosti: migraci, fake news, mediální manipulaci a šíření nenávisti.

When Eisen moved into the US ambassador's residence in Prague, he was startled to discover swastikas hidden beneath the furniture.
