Joss is furious that her alien telepathy partner keeps invading her head while she's out on dates. Zelda knows her family is lucky to be pioneers on a new planet-but secretly hates the green sky, the blue hills, and the strange noisy birds outside her window. On Halloween night, Brenna watches, shocked, as her friend takes off her disguise for the first time. This science fiction and fantasy collection includes original stories by Tamora Pierce, Charles de Lint, Francesca Lia Block, and Diana Wynne Jones.
