Beegu

by Alexis Deacon
Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2003
Have you ever been lost? Thud got lost on the way back from the blackberry patch the other day. Muddle and I had to go find him. He was very glad to see us! Getting lost can be scary and lonely, even if you're only a little bit far from home.
Little alien Beegu is very far from home, in a strange world where nobody even understands her language, and the big creatures in this place don't seem to want her. Some of the little ones seem nice, though, so maybe Beegu will find a friend after all. But will she find her way home? Read the book to find out.
