6th grader Nathan loves his ordinary life with his parents and his human best friend, VIctor, but Nathan knows his life is actually anything but normal. He has always known that he and his parents are from another planet. And when he starts growing a sentient tail, Nathan knows something new is about to happen. More than the tail however, Nathan is worried when his alien best friend, Izzy, disappears. He knows answers are to be found at the homeship.
I suspected, but was still surprised by some of the revelation of the true origin of Nathan’s and the others' supposed alien-ness. The scope of gaslighting and lying by the perpetrator of the hoax is astounding. My only problem is that my students rarely choose to read science fiction.
The characters cue white. I listened to the book narrated by Mark Sanderlin, courtesy of libro.fm
