Can two unlikely sixth-grade friends save the world from mind- and body-controlling cephalopod-like aliens in time to star in the middle-school play? With a diverse cast of characters, gross-out humor, and just a dash of Shakespeare, this zany yet heartfelt sci-fi adventure set in a small coastal town near Seattle will thrill fans of Adam Rex.

Sensing that he is growing apart from his best friend, eleven-year-old Ren attempts to adapt by joining the cross-country team. Then Ren meets new neighbor Sutton and becomes curious about her and the Birmingham Roller pigeons she is training. Readers will delight in Sutton's fierce honesty as well as Ren's geeky self-discoveries (guess what? He really hates running) and natural growth.
