Sometime in and beyond the 24th century and somewhere in The Milky Way Galaxy, a Fruit civilization similar to the Homo sapiens is progressing rapidly. The humble fruits strive to survive, explore, master and colonize the depths of the universe and evolve in this process.
It is a roller coaster, sci-fi thriller saga by innocent and inventive minds, capturing a humorous narration of the enterprising adventures of the humble fruits. Back to the Future: Planet of the Fruits would spark the imagination of the alpha kids even more and leave an indelible imprint on their impressionable minds!
“When the kids are busy playing, these two young munchkins were busy penning down a novel of the fantasy world of fruit people. What is admirable is their creativity at this Lilliputian age. These 12 short bedtime sci-fi stories would transport their peers into the world of fruit galaxy, populated by the fruit people.”
