Ernie the Llama and Sal the Frog live their lives in Rio. When aliens show up, the two of them are forced into a wacky adventure with many exciting characters!

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “Ernie and Sal are best friends. Ernie is a multi-lingual llama, and Sal, a color-changing frog. When aliens kidnap Ernie to help them fly their spaceship–they need a translator!–what will Sal do? Join teen authors Joshua, Za’Metria, Dana, and Kyare on this fantastical voyage. Though the characters are animals, human themes of friendship shine through.”
