A brilliant shower of stars fills the evening sky. An 8-year-old girl named Stella watches the sky with a pair of huge binoculars. The New World Girls are landing on Earth! Stella is there to greet them, but... where is the girls' faithful companion, Elipup?! Join the NWG as they save their friend and explore a new planet. "First Mission: Landing on Earth" is the first book in the New World Girls series. New World Girls (NWG) come from a community of diverse planets in a galaxy far away. (That said, all of the girls have great grandmothers from planet Earth.) These five cross-cultural "super girls" and their mystical mascot, Elipup, have been sent on a mission from Transform U., their "school in the sky," to help the people of Planet Earth solve problems, such as global warming, ensuring equal rights for all, and creating a more peaceful world.
