In 1776, the year that Americans asserted their independence from Great Britain, a spacecraft from a tiny planet lands in the state of New York. Pixel, the sole astronaut in the spacecraft, is only one inch tall. His unlikely friendship with a struggling American family leads to daring, warm hearted adventures. His spacecraft and high-tech tools are more than a match for pirates, British warships and evil noblemen. When a second spacecraft arrives Pixel is inspired and challenged by the youngest astronaut, Tamra, a high spirited doctor. "Pixel is a likeable little guy with a big heart. The whimsical tone of the story is most likely to appeal to middle grade and young adult readers who are sure to find Pixel's adventures entertaining." ( ForeWord Clarion Reviews.) "A refreshingly straightforward and unique reflection on human relationships." The novel's "simple approach to sci-fi is provocative and even touching." (Kirkus Indie - A review service from Kirkus Reviews) " an uncommon mix of historical fiction and science fiction." (BlueInk Reviews)
