How to Lose an Alien in 10 Days

<p>Life in Hickory Bend Texas has always been predictable for nineteen-year-old Ellie Mae Carter-until a blazing UFO crash-lands in her daddy's cornfield. The wreckage? A sleek silver ship. The pilot? A tall unfairly attractive alien with luminous eyes a baffled fascination with peanut butter and absolutely no idea how overalls work.</p><p>Determined to protect him from trigger-happy neighbors and mysterious Men in Black Ellie hides Zeke in the barn and embarks on the hardest mission of her life: teaching an extraterrestrial how to pass as human. (Spoiler: It goes terribly.
