Sister Perpetua Is an Alien

(2004)
A novel by

 
 
Meet Debbie Lou O'Reilly. In 1972 she was ten-years-old; an era when little boys wanted to fly to the moon, and little girls dreamed of marrying Donny Osmond. It was a time of Klick-Klacks, records on cereal boxes, Partridge Family, and a good game of Red Rover tested your skill and strategy. We as children didn't have a clear understanding of Vietnam, nor had we a clue why the president lost his job. Our biggest concern was how the Saturday morning cartoons would stack up, while awaiting the new Brady Bunch Season.

A look at the world through the eyes of a child carries an air of innocence. The old saying, 'from the mouths of babes' holds true, but not in the case of Debbie Lou.

On the pages of her little red diary, Debbie Lou journals her fifth grade year in a distorted manner. From believing her mother to be a spy with Watergate, to her home room teacher being a Martian, reality and fantasy collide when Debbie Lou tells the story.
