This is a story of a kind young Martian named Xnod, who received a message to appear before the other Martians; he had no idea what was about to happen. As he entered the Royal Chamber he was stunned when a booming voice told him, “You are banished to Earth, leave now!” He was rejected by the whole Martian community.
As Xnod was leaving his home planet, and wondering what he would find on Earth, he had a ‘Road to Damascus’ type experience which amounted to much needed help from above. This started him on a happy and exciting new journey in his life, with new friends, and a new place to call home.
Caroline Reel lives in Apple Valley, California with her family. Her venture into puppetry began during her son’s 4th birthday party. She put on a puppet show complete with a small stage built by her husband. It was such a success with the children she was asked by their mothers to perform at their children’s parties.
For the next 15 years she performed puppet/ventriloquist shows throughout the High Desert using many scripts she wrote herself.
Years later, when babysitting her Grandchildren, Dylan and Adrianne, there would be storytelling times with Xnod’s help of course.
Although she no longer performs, she didn’t want Xnod relegated to sitting on a dark closet shelf. So she thought putting his story in a children’s book was the perfect answer; and for the enjoyment of children everywhere.
