How To Be A Human

How to Be a Human by Karen McCombie

When Star Boy crash-lands on Earth, he’s eager to learn everything about humans — from how they act to what makes them laugh. Hiding in the boiler room of Fairfield Academy, he soon discovers two fascinating subjects: Wes and Kiki, two kids navigating friendship, school, and the chaos of growing up. But when curiosity turns into connection, Star Boy learns that being human isn’t about fitting in — it’s about feeling, caring, and belonging.

A funny, tender, and thought-provoking story about friendship, empathy, and what makes us truly human.
