Premise
Human Kind Of begins when "Judy Reilly, a nerdy teenager, finds out her estranged father was an extraterrestrial" and realizes "surviving a half-alien adolescence seems pretty hopeless. But with the help of a dangerously upbeat mother and a comic book obsessed best friend, Judy is able to uncover her powers, stand up to bullies, and inevitably discover what makes her both alien and human along the way."[1]
