From Alien Separation by Gina Koch.  This is the lastest in the Kitty books and like the others Kitty and friends are off on a very wild ride.  This is a really fun series is you like SciFi  that has great characters and fun plots.  This time Gina has outdone herself with the new species she created for the book.   Alien Separation can stand-alone but read the entire series for maximum entertainment.  Today is release day for Alien Separation.
