Synopsis
Based on a story by Stephen Spielberg, this sequel to the novelisation of ET: The Extra Terrestrial picks up the story of everyone's favourite alien where the movie ends and introduces his home planet for the first time. Now at last we see where ET comes from - who he really is and what his own distant world is like. Return with him to the Green Planet, whose inhabitants are the supreme masters of all growing things in the galaxy. Wander through their immense enchanted gardens, to which ET has returned with Gertie's geranium, a fondness for junk food and an all-consuming love for the earthling Elliott and his family. But things on Earth have changed since ET left. Elliott has begun to notice the opposite sex, and his cherished memories of ET are losing ground to thoughts of one special girl in his class. More important, he seems to have forgotten ET's teachings of gentleness and peace. As ET observes from three million light years away: "He is about to become the most terrible thing of all. He is about to become -- Man." ET must return to Earth to help Elliott on his journey to manhood.
But ET has been stripped of his powers, demoted from his distinguished job and suspected of having succumbed to earthly corruption. Can the gentle botanist outwit the forces of his own civilization? Can he harness the power of the Gren Planet's plant kingdom in a daring attempt to elude the elite guard of the Starcruiser Fleet and make his escape to Earth...?
