Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left is a children's novel by Robin Klein, which was turned into a 1994 television series.When X's father is caught cheating in the Zyrgonian lottery for the 27th time, the Zyrgonian government loses patience. When they send their officials after him, the head of the family, ten-year-old X herself, sees no choice but to flee as far away as possible. So she and her family go halfway across the galaxy, and turn left, taking shelter on an ignored and primitive planet called Earth. Though originally intending only to hide out on Earth until the government is overthrown again, eventually, they decide they prefer living on Earth.Followed by a literature sequel, Turn Right for Zyrgon, where the family and X's closest human friend, Jenny, are kidnapped back to Zyrgon to sort out some governmental issues involving their aunt. When Jenny gets mistaken for a goddess due to a reaction to Zyrgonian crystal cakes, things only get worse. Fortunately, they ultimately sort things out and choose to return to Earth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The television series mostly focuses on X's problems controlling her loopy family on an alien planet, while the government on her own planet relentlessly searches for them. X's desperate attempts for her family to fit in with Earth society leave her fighting an uphill battle, and providing much entertaining television in the process. | |

Becoming the Mask | |
| Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left / int_44606d14 | comment |
Becoming the Mask: As a result of having to act more like the responsible, level-headed and mature people that Earth society expects them to be because of their age, Father and Mother actually do become less Manchild-like. Additionally, the entire family comes to realize that they actually prefer life on Earth, confusing and weird as it is, so they ultimately decide to stay there. | |

Amusing Alien | |
| Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left / int_d9c2434 | comment |
Amusing Alien: The book and the series derive most of their comedy from the way that X and her family have no understanding of human culture, leading to wacky hijinks. | |

Brainless Beauty | |
| Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left / int_f26d5e66 | comment |
Brainless Beauty: Lox is a male example; a Zyrgonian starship pilot renowned for his handsomeness. X's sister Dovis also displays some traits of this, but is shown to be smarter and more aware than she acts. | |
