Time for Evron

One time, as Nadja came shivering out of the pool, Matthew held out her big beach towel for her and wrapped it around her. Without really thinking about it, he continued to keep his arms around her too. She lay her head on his shoulder. He held her like this for what seemed forever and then kissed her softly. She smiled back at him, then asked playfully, Hi, who are you? Oh just some guy with a crush on you, he answered in a whisper. Evron, along with eleven of his dog friends, have come to Earth from another planet far away in space. They are here to see how Earth's kids respond to them. On Evron's planet, the animals and the kids talk to each other. The dogs are confidantes to the young people and so the kids talk to them about their private feelings. When they cannot relate to their parents or friends, they can always talk to their Evron friend in privacy. Evron is mature and compassionate, with the wisdom of an old sage. In this book he helps Matthew and his friends through their personal difficulties and in their day-to-day interactions with others. A number of issues arise throughout the book from first love and friendship problems, to low self-esteem, abuse, and racism. Evron is always there to guide the young people. Sometimes he gives direct advice; other times, he helps them work out decisions on their own. Every kid needs an Evron by his or her side to help out
