- Book Intro
-
Gang Chandeul came from the galaxy Andromeda, 200 light years away from Earth, but nobody knows this. Andromeda is the perfect world for children, with no horrible scolding from mom, heavy school bags, or boring school homework. Every day, without exception, Chandeul closes his eyes and sends the same message to Andromeda by telepathy: "Please let me leave Earth and go back to Andromeda as soon as possible." It's already been 12 years since he came to Earth... but no one has answered his message. The author wrote many play scripts before An Alien Boy Living on Earth, his first creative fairy tale, and that's why every single sentence in the book feels so real, as if it's part of a play. Together with the realistic story, unique characters and illustrations in warm colors make the book even more complete and funny.
