[edit] Summary
The series revolves around Evie Garland, a young girl living in Marlowe, California who discovers on her thirteenth birthday that her father isn't really dead as her mother always told her. In fact, her father is an alien named Troy from the planet Antarias who married her mother and "merged lifeforms" to create Evie. Evie's half-alien heritage allowed her to use supernatural abilities which her father could give and take away at will. Most of the episodes revolve around Evie misusing her powers and causing some trouble which she spends the rest of the show trying to fix.

Evie's mother Donna Garland runs a school for gifted children which Evie also goes to.

The cast included Evie's human Uncle Beano, her surfer boyfriend Chris Fuller, and an ex-actor turned mayor Kyle Applegate.

The show's theme song is an adapted version of Bing Crosby's Swinging on a Star, a number one hit on the Billboard magazine music charts in the summer of 1944.


[edit] Evie's powers
Evie's main power is the ability to freeze time for other earthlings (whilst time continues for her and her dad) by joining two fingers, whilst she manoeuveres herself or objects to alter the course of events on Earth. When she claps her hands together, time resumes as normal. She can also "unfreeze" individuals by touching them while time is frozen.
Evie can also gleep — which allows her to bring fake objects into existence. There are certain restrictions on this power, such as the inability to create complicated machinery, and overuse of this power will cause her other abilities to stop functioning.
Evie has the ability to instantly teleport herself from one place to another, by snapping her fingers.
In an episode that centres around Evie's 16th birthday, her father gives her the choice between several new powers as a gift. Each one proves to be too much of a burden (such as "looking into someone's eyes and telling them to do something while thinking the word 'obey', and they would obey); she ultimately chooses the power to "tie your shoelaces perfectly on the first try every time."
