Message From Krumar Book PDF Summary
Thirteen-year-old LISA STEVENS lives in the town of Lindenville with her adoptive parents, JIM and RUTH STEVENS, and her cat, FLUFFY. Early on, she senses her parents? alarm and no longer speaks of the strange VOICE that seems to come from within, a Voice that has warned her away from danger for as long as she can remember. Neither does she mention the way her skin heals instantaneously, leaving absolutely no trace of an injury. Lisa believes the Voice is her guardian angel until he informs her that she must soon return to her original home, a faraway planet called Krumar. Although his cryptic message fills her with despair, Lisa tries to hide her feelings from her family. She cannot bring herself to share her dilemma with her friends, not even her birthday twin, DAVID GRAYSON, Finally, unable to bear her burden alone, Lisa confides in her aunt, JESSICA LAMBERT. Her aunt repeats the story of the custodian who insisted that Lisa was smiling when he found her on the steps of the Lindenville Orphanage. At the hospital, the doctors determine she is five days old and in perfect health. No one comes forward to claim her and the authorities try, but fail, to locate her birth parents. The Voice returns. He informs Lisa that she is a citizen of the Planet Krumar. He tells her that the people on his planet remain everlastingly youthful due to scientists having discovered a way to deactivate the aging gene. She also learns that the ability to heal herself is considered normal in his flawless world. Fearful that the Voice will soon force her to leave Earth forever, Lisa feels a need to do something worthwhile with whatever remaining time she may have on Earth. The Lindenville Nursing home gladly accepts her as a volunteer, and she soon becomes involved with the care of patients. One night while visiting Lisa, her best girlfriend, MARCY, notices that Lisa has a double row of eyelashes and no apparent pores. Although petrified, afraid her secrets are beginning to unravel, Lisa makes light of Marcy?s observation, but suspects that her friend is not fooled. When Lisa learns that her mother has made an appointment for her with DOCTOR BURKE, she becomes uneasy. She is afraid that a technician will take a picture of her brain and find it unlike other brains, then her parents will learn that she is an alien. Lisa cannot bear for them to know the truth about her. Lisa passes her physical with flying colors only to learn that Doctor Burke has suggested that Mom take her to see DOCTOR JAMISON, a psychologist. She fears this head doctor will somehow cause her to accidentally tell him about the Voice. The Voice steps up the frequency of his visits. He tells Lisa that robots have taken over all mundane tasks including the care of the children. The parents are free to amuse themselves in whatever way they choose. This information disturbs Lisa, who feels that all children need a mom and dad to care for them. His perfect world is beginning to sound flawed. MR. LESTER, the nursing home director, approves of Lisa?s idea to set up a regular pet visitor program for the patients. She, Marcy, David and their friends MIKE, CHASE, JENNIFER, GREG, AND ELENA, agree to bring their critters by at a prearranged time and put on a pet show. When Lisa visits the psychologist he administers a number of tests, then tells Mom and Dad that Lisa is super smart. Afraid her friends will find out, she makes her parents promise not to tell. The Voice returns to congratulate Lisa on her test results. He tells her that her high scores are perfectly normal, that on his planet everyone possesses extremely high intelligence. He continues his dialogue with Lisa about her homeland, and says that his people are similar in appearance to the inhabitants of Earth. He refuses to answer when she asks him whether he is a relative. Since she knows it will break their hearts, Lisa simply cannot tell her parents that she is being forced to leave them forever. Instead, she decides to write letters to her family and friends and place them in the small cedar box in her room which she calls her treasure chest. She knows that Mom will be sure to find them there. Lisa learns that the Voice has dark brown eyes like hers, but he still refuses to tell her whether they are related. She suspects that they are. After he leaves, Lisa sits at her bedroom desk and begins to write the letter to Mom and Dad in which she tells them how much she loves them and tries to explain the unexplainable. At the nursing home, MRS. LASSITER, a patient who has no family left, asks if she can become Lisa?s extra grandmother. Convinced that one cannot have too many grandmothers, Lisa happily agrees. A few days later Mrs. Lassiter presents her with a beautiful bracelet with eight dangling gold charms. She tells Lisa that it is an early birthday present. Her parents worry that it may be inappropriate for Lisa to accept such an expensive gift. But she is able to convince them that had she refused, it would have hurt her friend?s feelings. On the fourth of July David and Lisa celebrate their birthdays at a party hosted by her parents. After the guests have gone, Lisa is about to go upstairs when the doorbell rings and someone leaves a parcel on the front porch, then disappears unseen. The package contains an exquisite fiery pendant attached to a platinum chain. A powerful feeling of peace steals over Lisa when she holds the pendant in her hand. Although the accompanying card is unsigned, she is certain the gift comes from the Voice. Later that night when the Voice appears, he tells Lisa that the stone is Krumar?s most precious gem and is said to safeguard all who wear it. Lisa feels such an hypnotic attraction to the Krumarian Star that she commences to wear it night and day. Lisa goes to the nursing home early one morning to find that her friend is very ill. Mrs. Lassiter tells Lisa goodby, says not to fret, that her dead husband is waiting on the other side to take her hand. When the color begins to leave her adopted Gram?s face, Lisa frantically pushes the call button, but it is too late. Her friend?s funeral is traumatic for Lisa, who has never before experienced the loss of a loved one. The event makes her more determined than ever to store as many happy memories as possible before the Voice forces her to go away. Working from one of their favorite photographs, she begins to paint a portrait of her parents. When it is finished, it will become her last gift to them. When the Voice returns, he leaves Lisa with many unanswered questions about her alien family. Suspecting that he may be her biological father, Lisa attempts to make him understand that her heart will be broken if she has to abandon her Earth parents, and they will be shattered by her leaving. Despite her protests, the Voice persists with his plans for her future. He tells Lisa that soon they will discuss a time frame for her departure. He also says that he will reveal himself to her in person in the near future. Lisa is terrified at the thought of coming face to face with the Voice. She confesses these fears to her aunt Jessica, who is convinced that something horrible is hovering in space waiting to drag Lisa away from her family. Although Jessica feels helpless to avert the impending disaster, she must find a way to save her niece. Lisa?s mother urges her to go shopping for school clothes, but Lisa tries to delay it, since she is almost certain that she will be gone before school starts in the fall.
