On their home world of Umvalla, a small group of duckbutts were attempting to complete a Great Scientific Experiment-and instead wound up on Earth. Oops. In Earth measures, they were tiny-just three inches short. They looked like humans with their big brown eyes and sweet faces-except for their upturned duck butts, which were covered with white feathers. On Earth, ten-year-old Sylvia lives on a farm in Illinois and dreams of seeing a fairy. Instead, she gets seven little duckbutts. She has to feed them and hide them and help them get back to Umvalla. But how?
