[edit] Summary

Megan Larson, a typical teenage girl, hasn't really had a great life. Her workaholic dad and windsurfing mom are divorced, and she longs for them to get back together, as much as she wants her little brother to be less annoying. But the thing she wants the most was for a popular guy named Cutter to be her boyfriend, so her dearest wish is to be in with the popular group. But things get more out of control when her mom meets Cosmo Cola, a nice but apparently very weird guy. He has a pretty and very intelligent daughter named Ariel, who is as weird (or maybe weirder) as her dad. She hides under her dad's car when the wind blows, talks in a sophisticated manner, wears many layers to 'protect her essence', can't ride a bike despite training wheels and a football helmet, and mostly continues to complain that she hates the town she's living in and wants to go back to her hometown in Yukon (which nobody lives in) to be with her boyfriend, Fanul. Worst of all, all the kids at school thinks that the way Ariel behaves is 'cool and revolutionary' and gets to sit in the popular table on her first day and attracts Cutter's attention! But Megan should know that Ariel is more than what she and all the other kids think she is.

Ariel Cola is beyond being an average girl. She's beautiful, brilliant, and sophisticated, but she's more that that. She's an alien. Because her father was a freedom fighter in her home planet, she had to leave her boyfriend Fanul, her home, and her mother. At her home, every citizen is a gaseous bubble that floats carelessly, so she's very uncomfortable with the solid objects of Earth. She hates everything on Earth; her name, the wind that blows, the solid objects and people, and her recent enemy, the evil Megan Larson, who's mother is engaged to her father. But as she and Megan realize that they both want to separate their parents, they agree on a temporary alliance, but none of their plans work well.

When Megan begins to suspect something unusual is going on, she finds out that both Ariel and Cosmo are aliens.
