What is How to be a human about?

When the Star Boy’s space-pod crashes near Fairfield Academy, he hides in the boiler room while waiting to be rescued. Through a tiny window, he watches the humans at school, especially Wes, a lonely boy, and Kiki, who has been rejected by her friends. Curious about life on Earth, the Star Boy eventually leaves his hiding place and follows them into class. As secrets, misunderstandings and unexpected challenges arise, the three discover that friendship can bridge even the greatest differences.
