Publisher's Synopsis
It was Mr. and Mrs. Peasoup's last wish to save their daughter Billy from a world where children who were different were not tolerated. Now, hurtling through space, the eight-year-old girl encounters a strange planet where she is befriended by two very unlikely companions and comes to discover that there is no place like home... **** Billy, of no use at all is a whimsical tale that is sure to delight young and old alike. This recommendation includes the very old but not necessarily the extremely young. For example, a story like this would be completely lost on a little person under the age of three. However, that is not to say children under three shouldn't be read to-.
