It's the summer of 1994 in suburban Chicago: Forrest Gump is still in theaters, teens are reeling from the recent death of Kurt Cobain, and you can enter a sweepstakes for a spaceship from Jupiter to land in your backyard. Welcome to Margaret Wappler's slightly altered 90s. Everything's pretty much the way you remember it, except for the aliens.When a flying saucer lands in the Allens' backyard, family patriarch and environmental activist Ernest is up in arms. According to the company facilitating the visits, the spaceship is 100 percent non-toxic, but as Ernest's panic increases, so do his questions: What are the effects of longterm exposure to the saucer and why is it really here?The family starts logging the spaceship’s daily fits and starts but it doesn't get them any closer to figuring out the spaceship's comically erratic behavior. Ernest’s wife Cynthia and their children, Alison and Gabe, are less concerned with the saucer, and more worried about their father’s growing paranoia (not to mention their mundane, suburban existences). Set before the arrival of the internet, Neon Green will stun, unnerve, and charm readers with its loving depiction of a suburban family living on the cusp of the future.

Kui aga uksteise jarel hakkavad Green Islandile saabuma nii noored kui ka aastates parijad, muutub olukord ponevaks. Kas toesti ihaldab see kirju seltskond maja, mis peab vaevalt vastu esimesele sugistormile. Ja siis leitakse vanadaami testament, mille avamisel selgub, et ta on maaranud – porunud nagu ta oli olnud kogu elu! – oma kassi ja maja ainuparijaks koigile tundmatu mehe – Frank Steeli.
