Everything Bea had ever known was a lie. Now she must find the courage to face the truth and save not only herself-but an entire planet. At almost 15, late-bloomer Bea Parker has just discovered that her aunt, uncle and cousins-the only family she's ever known-aren't actually related to her and don't know anything about her birth parents. A strange, high-tech device shows up in her room in the middle of the night with a note promising answers about her shadowed past. The only person she can turn to for help is Calvin, school genius-and total nerd. This alien technology leads Bea and Calvin on a heart-pounding adventure across lightyears leaving behind Earth, and everything she knows, to meet her destiny.
