[edit] Plot
Zenon Kar is a thirteen-year-old girl living in the year 2049. She lives in a space station, alongside her family and her best friend, Nebula Wade. Zenon's misbehavior annoys her station's commander, and he sends her to Earth as a punishment.
Zenon lands on Earth, where she is met by her aunt. She finds some of Earth's teenagers to be rude, because they bully her, and ridicule her clothes, not realizing that she is from space. Once she tries to tell them she is from space, many of her peers and schoolmates think she is crazy. Zenon also finds things on Earth to be outdated, and she particularly dislikes the fashions that Earth teenagers wear. However, she finds love with a boy who shows interest in her, and they start to date.
Zenon believes she is being watched on Earth by agents of Parker Wyndham, the owner of the space station. With the help of a computer and friend of hers, she learns Mr. Wyndham is corrupt and out to destroy her home, the space station. When she sends the information back to the station through a satellite device, they lie to her saying these are just random bugs, but they know something is wrong with the space station. Zenon is the only one who can save the station with her friend who created an antivirus program to restore the station's master computer. Zenon smuggles aboard the space shuttle (who was hosting her rock idol, Proto Zoa) to stop the plan. Zenon's aunt, as well as Wyndham and his lackey, Lutz, also get aboard the shuttle before it takes off. Zenon manages to get the disk in the restricted computer and crack the password just in time to save the station from self-destructing, Wyndham is arrested and the first concert from space occurs.
