Summary:
Welcome to Terra, a peaceful utopian community where the natives happily go about their days in a culture that honors nature. Human beings have gobbled up all natural resources and damaged the environment of Earth beyond repair, destroyed two other planets, and are now on the hunt for a new home. They have their eyes set on Terra. The citizens of Terra have no idea of what lies in store for them: a sinister plan to convert their atmosphere to an oxygenated one suitable only to humans. Mala--an adventuresome and resourceful teenage girl--teams up with Jim, an Earth Force pilot who has crashed on Terra, to lead the battle so the Terrians can escape destruction.
