Whitney
Ward...
...is
a 12 year old orphan with big dreams and a brain to match. She
has two great friends, a sparkling report card and the coveted
position as editor-in-chief of her school newspaper. But all of
the gold stars in the universe could not bring her what she craves
most--a perfect family. That is until the universe brings her
The Eeks, a family of aliens from the undiscovered Planet Z. Will
the aliens provide Whitney with the loving and nurturing environment
she never had, or will they further ostracize her from the world
she never quite belonged in?

In making
Adopted By Aliens...
...Shawnee
and Shawnelle
Gibbs, the series' creators, wanted to have fun! They put
their imaginations to the test by going where few humans have
ever gone before--outer space!
Coming up with the
story's leading lady, Whitney Ward, was not hard at all for the
sisters. They drew from there own experiences of being 'outsiders'
in middle school and multiplied that by ten to create the school
life for Whitney.

But there's no way
that a kid can survive middle school alone, so they developed
the characters of Malik and Sondra, Whitney's best buds, and members
of 'the nerd herd'.
Traditionally 'nerds'
have been the object of ridicule and the butt of jokes. But don't
let the nerd status fool you: Though Whitney and her friends are
sometimes harrassed by the devilish duo, Lola and Falana Cash,
their unique style and intellect, and fierce individuality makes
them some of the most secretly admired kids in all of George Washington
Jackson Junior Middle School. Hey, look how far new-age nerdom
has gotten Bill Gates, the richest man in America.

Whitney's
new family members...
...are about as non-traditional
as they come: Her mom, is a do-it-yourself, harley-riding mechanic;
Her dad's a stay at home chef, who can't cook; Her uncle despises
all of humanity and enjoys torturing innocent people for sport;
Her brother wants to be the first alien to play for the NBA and
her cousin is a wanna-be actress with an extreme identity crisis.
Whitney thought her
world was topsy-turvy without a family...but the roller-coaster
ride has just begun!
