NHUK

Nhuk is a little eleven year old girl on a distant planet doomed to explode. Planet Zeet is a million years more advanced than Earth and Nhuk is one of the most intelligent. She escapes death and travels through space for two light years at near light speed. Equipment failure causes her space ship to crash land in Tibet where she is given shelter in a Buddhist Monastery. She meets three American kids from the US Embassy and they become close friends. Nhuk struggles to be accepted and to convince humans she is from another planet.

Some in the US Government think she is a threat and attempt to kidnap her and finally to assonate her. She and her three human friends survive and save Earth from a nuclear holocaust. Nhuk goes to space in the Shuttle and puts the Peace Crystal (a gift from Planet Zeet) in orbit. It causes peace between nations and Nhuk becomes a world hero.
