About the book
A shape-changing alien arrives on Earth with others of his kind, charged with a mission to help humanity. After his family is killed by hostile aliens, he flees across the country and copies the appearance of a sleeping boy named Curtis Hammond, then travels with a dog and a pair of twin UFO enthusiasts. Meanwhile Mickey Bellsong, newly released from prison, tries to start over at her aunt's home and befriends Leilani, a clever nine-year-old with a disabled hand and leg. Leilani's stepfather poses a deadly threat, and Mickey resolves to protect her.
