Résumé :
After Jenny's best friend and next-door neighbor, Ashley, moves out of the neighborhood, she is sad and lonely for a pretty long time. Then one day, she is excited to see a new family move in with a girl about her age. But the members of this new family are really weird: the mom wears a flowing robe and a turban, the dad dons a thick black beard, and they speak an alien tongue. Maybe they are Martians from outer space. Jenny's fears get worse as she watches more strange, mysterious and alien characters dropping in at their house from time to time. What happens next comes as a surprise!...
