Carrie Hatchett

The galaxy is in crisis, and Carrie Hatchett is the last person on Earth who should be fixing it. Carrie Hatchett is a low-achieving daydreamer. She’s been a dog walker, an ice cream seller and a birthdaygram girl—the clean kind. After providing a good home for her butt-ugly dog and crazy cat, all she wants is a proper job and to avoid being fired again. So when a strange green mist sucks her beneath her kitchen sink and a clerical error leads to an interesting professional proposal, she foolishly doesn’t refuse.

After a successful first mission, Carrie thought her job as Transgalactic Intercultural Community Crisis Liaison Officer was secure. But all bets are off when she travels to Dandrobia, a genetically engineered utopia. Beautiful and immortal, the dandrobians have been confined to their planet due their former tyrannical reign over the galaxy. Carrie must mediate between the dandrobians and their victims, the squashpumps.

Carrie’s impulsive, reckless nature gets her in trouble again, and if she wants to keep her job as a Transgalactic Intercultural Community Crisis Liaison Officer, she has to pass remedial training. Little does she know that her survival and the future of the galactic empire are also at stake. With the help of her level-headed bestie, Dave, and her fellow alien trainees—an intelligent slug, a mysterious box, a large green blob, and a cylinder of hair—she might just succeed. But so much stands in her way.
