Overview
From New York Times bestselling illustrator Dani Jones comes a heartfelt exploration of sisterhood, forgiveness, and outer space invasions. Mary Seaver lives in her own world. It's not her fault if sometimes her enthusiasm creates chaos. To Mary, that's what being 10 years old and a huge science fiction fan is all about. Allison ""Al"" Seaver is Mary's older sister--and she's everything that Mary is not: cool, calm, collected, and super popular. So it makes sense that when aliens invade their hometown of Pleasant Valley, Mary's trying to warn everyone about the end of the world while Al's just hoping it will all go away before the spring dance. But when a secret emerges from their family's past, Mary and Al find themselves turning to their most unlikely ally: each other. Dive into Dani Jones's debut original graphic novel, a hilariously tender investigation of sibling dynamics, aliens, and what it is that makes us human.

Reviews
""Full of humor and coming-of-age antics, Dani's mash-up of alien invasions with sibling rivalry delightfully captures the importance of embracing your inner weirdness."" - Mike Maihack, cartoonist of Cleopatra in Space ""Chock-full of that darkly sweet and scary blend that made the classic Goosebumps series such page-turners. Jones's comedic sci-fi tale lovingly reminds us why there's nothing more terrifying than our own siblings."" - Dave Roman, creator of Unicorn Boy This is a compelling choice for middle-grade readers who enjoy adventure, family stories, and relatable teen struggles. A fast-paced, heartfelt tale of sisterhood, secrets, and saving the day. - Kirkus Action packed panels by Jones (The What-If Wonderfest), making a solo debut, burst with dynamic onomatopoeia and propulsive, fast-paced plotting that alternates heartening character moments with madcap alien antics, food fights, and superpowered battles. - Publishers Weekly
