For the life of my I do not understand why these book aren't more popular. I read half of this tale in the middle of the day. Work and other things drove me away from it, but I could not going to sleep without finding out how the story of Nesta Gwynn ended. I was just too stressed out over the outcome to sleep.

Second in the Ormingat trilogy, Earthborn explores the nature of home and family. Nesta has no idea that she is actually an alien on Earth. She just thinks her parents are different from her friends' folks because they're from Boston. Not so, they tell her, and now it's time to return to their home on Ormingat, which is not at all what Nesta wants to hear!

This is the second book in the "Ormingat" trilogy, and well worth reading. On the whole this series is well written; the language is fresh and fluid, and filled with realistic characters and quirky humor. This series deals a lot with the themes of "outsiderism", what family is, and choosing loyalties. Without these ideas, this series would fall flat as just another sci-fi novel. It is very much akin in style to the Harry Potter series, with exploration of very different conte
