    About this ebook

    On the planet Terranu, two families have established a research base to look for extraterrestrial life. One day four young friends spot a watery tentacle slither out of the nearby river—and a pair of eyes watching from across the water! Soon the two families meet the planet’s natives, but they aren’t pleased by the humans’ presence. The aliens challenge them to a contest. If the humans win, they can stay on Terranu. But if they lose, they must leave immediately. It’s up to the young friends and their special powers to win the contest. Will their families be forced to leave the planet forever? Or will the humans and aliens learn to live together in peace?

    Danielle Smith-Llera

    Danielle Smith-Llera grew up in coastal Virginia, hearing unforgettable tales about her Mexican and Irish ancestors. She first moved overseas to teach in international schools in Hungary and Brazil. Life in the U.S. Foreign Service has taken her around the world to live in India, Jamaica, Romania, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and Washington, DC. She loves sharing stories—fiction, nonfiction, and a mixture of both—in classrooms, museum exhibits, and, of course, books.

      Those words always spooked me when she told that story. Her experience happened many years before anyone had heard about Men in Black. Did she have an alien encounter? Was their vehicle really a UFO that
