Those Roys on Planet Earth - Paperback

Meet the quirky and lovable Roy Family. Jillian is a forward-thinking mother who hails from Planet Arvon. Walt is a renaissance man who waxes philosophical at the dinner table. Casey, the middle child, is "utterly devastated beyond imagining" on an hourly basis, especially by Ancient-Aunt-Hattie, who is "absolutely diabolical" with her non-stop drinking, smoking and sticking her nose into other people's business for crying out loud. Sammy, the youngest, alternates between experimenting with household appliances and serving in the capacity of The Family Dog. And Alex, the eldest, who is on the brink of having an early-life crisis, manages to keep it together long enough to narrate and survive the shenanigans, the debacles and close-shaves. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for The Cat.
