Literární přepis nejúspěšnějšího sci-fi filmu E.T. mimozemšťan bezesporu překvapí malé i velké čtenáře - odkryje v mnohém šírším i hlubším záběru psychologickém i situačním to, co zřejmě nelze vyjádřit obrazem: myšlení a cítění tvora z jiné planety. Děj, známý z filmu, totiž snaha skupiny dětí v čele s chlapcem Elliottem pomoci návštěvníkovi z hvězd k návratu a zachránit jej před vojenskými zájmy a vědeckým výzkumem, je obohacen o citový vztah E.T. mimozemšťana k Eliottově mamince, dozvíme se mnohem více o jeho předchozím životě i o poslání na naší planetě, lépe porozumíme situacím, které byly ve filmu méně jasné. Navíc je tato prozaická podoba obohacena o humor a ironii, kontrastující s nostalgickou touhou E.T. mimozemšťana po domově.

E.T. has returned to his home, the Green Planet. He is in disgrace and misses his friend from Earth, Elliot. E.T. decides he must try to return to Earth.
