“A wonderful, well-structure plot." Five-Star Review BY READERS’ FAVORITE
Iko and his family are in serious trouble. The Trinichian government monitors their every move. And Iko’s family has something to hide. Like Dad’s mysterious vials. And Iko’s special power.
Escaping their home planet is the only way to avoid capture. So they steal a spaceship and secretly land on Earth. Are they followed? Probably.
Iko and his parents morph into human form to blend in with humans, and Iko enrolls in middle school. But school on Earth is nothing like school on Trinichia. The rules differ. So do the humans.
Will Iko fool Earthlings into thinking he’s one of them? Or will they recognize him for what he is—an alien from outer space? Are some humans really Trinichian spies in disguise trying to catch Iko? Can he navigate this dangerous new world? Lives are at stake. Is Iko up to the challenge?

Born into a family with a history of identical twins, Isis Firma and her identical twin sister Electra are as different as two people can be. Isis is studious and quiet, and Electra is an outgoing athlete. Because it’s her turn to decide, Isis gets to pick what they’ll do on their twelfth birthday. Much to Electra’s disgust, Isis decides they’ll go to the Institute of Ancient Egyptian Stuff in Washington, DC, to see a mummy that’s just been autopsied. While looking at the mummy, Isis notices a bug crawling from the ear to the mouth and entering the skull through a nostril. Unseen by everyone except Isis, the eyes glow red and the mummy sits up and tells her the Vympyrym have arisen and the Squrlon are in danger. Isis must find the Purple Staff of Death and lead the battle. Then even stranger things happen as Isis tries to unravel the mystery of the mummy’s message and the secrets of her family.
