Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a pet to aliens? Neither did eleven-year-old Marco until it happened to him. My father named me Marco after the famous explorer Marco Polo. He wanted me to grow up, explore the world, and have grand adventures. Not me; I just wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life on my island. But then Grandfather passed away, and Jordie took me to live on another planet…as a pet! I never really thought about aliens, and now here I am, eleven years old and on another planet. The guy I’m living with, Jutte, is pretty cool. But there’s a sea dragon that tries to eat me and another alien that wants to kill me. It’s okay, though; I got this. I am Marco.
