The two of them get to talking, and decide that a party is just what everybody needs, but how are they ever going to convince the grown-ups?   Rocky and the Spacefarers’ Christmas is the second book in the Otherworld Adventures series, which is set on Rocky’s journey to the new world where his parents will farm alongside the aliens.
