Leonard has never had a name. Or a body. Or a best friend. But he was excited to be human. On the eve of their three-hundredth birthday, all aliens from Leonard’s home galaxy have the opportunity to spend a month in the body of an Earth Creature – to expand their minds, to glimpse another way of life. Leonard was supposed to inhabit a forest ranger in Yellowstone National Park. But there was a mix-up. Now he’s a stray cat called Leonard, stuck in the middle
of nowhere.
