This narrative blends reality and science fiction, written in the form of a diary. The central section of the text includes a Q&A insert between the protagonist and a mentor-like character on one of the plot’s key themes: addiction.
Themes covered: Friendship, health and affectivity education, drug prevention, leisure, emotions, technology, diversity, family and school.
On Planet 335, children* and teenagers* attend school, spend time with friends, practice sports, and live their daily family lives. A reality not unlike that on Earth, except for greater social harmony and superior technology. Nevertheless, unexpected events still occur that can disrupt lives. And that is precisely what happens to Irvjn, the 11-year-old protagonist, on an otherwise ordinary morning. Aboard his spaceship, guided by his faithful android Silver, he finds himself launched into intergalactic space due to a malfunction.
The adventure begins, narrated by Irvjn in a diary, which will take him among humans, facing peers and problems all to be known and solved. One challenge after another, Irvjn must overcome his limits, manage his emotions, and survive in a new reality.
Irvjn befriends Silvia and Miguel, but the bond is clouded: on the one hand the two friends use soft drugs, which he disapproves of, and on the other he hides his true identity and origins. Knots are untied only when Silvia and Miguel, partly thanks to their friend, realize they are on a self-destructive path. At the same time, Irvjn is forced to speak his truth. This sparks a relationship based on mutual support, leading to transformative changes: it allows the two aliens to find their way home and helps the two humans move toward a constructive future. Drug prevention becomes a shared goal for the group, with Irvjn’s diary serving as one of their tools.
