Tweedlioop — Stanley Schmidt

MAROONED ON EARTH

Bill Nordstrom knew something was odd when the squirrel he was feeding ignored the nuts and raisins...and devoured the plastic bag! The squirrel turned out to be Tweedlioop, a squirrel-like alien, lone survivor of a spaceship crash in the Alaskan wilderness. Tweedlioop was young, intelligent, and at the mercy of Earth's inhabitants.

Bill wanted to help Tweedlioop find his people. So did Danni, a sharp, sympathetic lawyer, and Danni's nine-year-old daughter Laurie, who could feel for Tweedlioop the way no adult could. But the President of the United States and the Secretary-General of the United Nations had different ideas. and re-uniting Tweedlioop with his own kind involved some exciting escapades, and some very close shaves.
