What makes Quozl such a satisfying book is the way Alan Dean Foster as developed an entire history and culture for the aliens, yet doesn’t let it bog-down the story. One curious, young Quazl sneaks out - and first contact is made with a young boy. The aliens forbid anyone to leave the underground burrow. Hence, I consider the book appropriate for teenagers. This is mentioned, but not elaborated upon, throughout the story. The Quozl are rabbit like, in many ways including - you guessed it - their sexual appetite. The Quozl land in a nearly deserted area of a national forest, burrow into the ground, and hope they won’t be discovered for hundreds of years. Unbeknownst to the Quozl, Earth already has an intelligent (well, somewhat) species occupying it. A multi-generational interstellar ship is programmed for Earth. Adults and young adults will enjoy this pleasant novel of first contact (both of the humans, and the Quozl) and how the Quozl are finally introduced to humanity at large. Quozl is a lighthearted science fiction tale of a race of alien “rabbits” who land on Earth, go into hiding, and finally reveal themselves. Finally! Good news: Open Road Media is releasing a Kindle edition of Quozl, by Alan Dean Foster (Amazon link).
